OMG, this is the buttercream recipe that i've been looking for its like sweet, thick whipped cream. yum! to anyone who complains that this "doesnt taste like the store-bought stuff" or "all you can taste is butter"... It ISN"T SUPPOSED TO! if it tastes wrong, your doing something wrong. either that or you dont know what a true buttercream is supposed to taste like. Betty Crocker from the supermarket is NOT GOOD ICING. and this stuff is! Lost one star because the overall flavor is a bit bland, should have noted that this is an ICING BASE and you NEED TO ADD YOUR OWN FLAVORINGS if you want it to taste like chocolate or vanilla or whatever. Still, this i the icing i will be using on the cupcakes at my wedding. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!!

worst recipe ever. this must be some kind of joke. tastes like flour, doesnt hold up at all (think pie crust before adding the liquid) and burnt with 10 minutes still remaining in the cooking time! followed it exactly. my advice for anyone who has any idea what proper shortbread should taste like: DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE!
