This recipe is for REAL frosting not the garbage that comes from the store. I followed the recipe without changes. This was served with SCOTTLEY'S BASIC YELLOW CAKE and the filling from ALMOND CREAM-PUFF RING. My brother ate two pieces and took half of the rest of the cake home with him. I will never buy frosting again ever.

This is a great buttercream icing recipe. I followed it fairly closely, thought I did add extra vanilla, which then necessitated adding some extra 10X sugar to make up for the extra liquid. It does not make all that much, so I will prob double it when decorating a cake. It made enough for me to not-over-generously ice 18 cupcakes. Great taste and consistency. GO BULLDOGS! ;) TY for a great recipe!

This icing was just what I was looking for as I didnt really want to take the time to do boiling icing. Not too too sweet but very creamy. I will use this again. Alot of flavorings can be added to this.

awesome frosting. easy to decorate with. the only changes i made was that i melted the butter and added 2/3 cup of cocoa to make the frosting a chocolate flavor.

Wow. This was really good and very easy. No need for heavy cream or anything I don't often have on hand which was the most appealing to me. It was also really great piped onto my halloween cupcakes. I doubled the recipe because I wasn't sure how much one stick of butter would make for a cake mix recipe - 24 cupcakes - and I didn't want to have to make another batch with different colors of icing. I had extra icing leftover. Can't say how much the leftovers would cover but I piped it on really heavy, so I'm not sure if it would cover another entire cake mix or not. I'll use the leftovers it to frost some cookies. Thanks!
