Very good, but I would put in wayyyyy less sugar. Even though this is meant to be able to cover a whole cake, it is wayyyyy too sugary. I would put in maybe a cup or two cups.

This turned out great and was very easy to make! I substituted heavy cream for the milk, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.

Actually turned out yummy, son loves it, instead of using 2 sticks of butter I used a stick and half.

This is amazing. I added about 2 tsp vanilla to my taste and 1 tbsp milk for the consistency I wanted. The flavor is so good!

I didn't have powered sugar at the time but I had granulated sugar, which I added cornstarch too (1 cup of sugar : 1 teaspoon of cornstarch) and "puree" in the food processor. Voila powered sugar! It came out as expected and not too sweet which was what I desired. Perfect for icing any types of cakes!

I always make this frosting!!! It is so quick and easy! Just make sure the butter is super soft so that the buttercream is easier to spread or pipe.

Have been searching for a good frosting recipe for a long time and this one just blew me away!
All I changed was the size and cut it in half. This is my new favorite recipe!!!
