This recipe is AMAZING!! I've been searching for a recipe for a thick frosting like the store bought one an this is even better! It is so simple and takes about 5 min. Plus most people have these ingredients on hand. Ofcourse if you wish for a thinner frosting you can thin it out by mixing in a little more milk until your desired consistency.
Just made a half batch of this. I ended up putting another TB of butter and splash of milk, it was too thick for me. Then added a TB of cream cheese... oh my, it turned out so good. Thanks for the recipe!
This is a easy, quick, and yummy recipe.
I made it for my b-day party. SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!
No need to buy store bought this is way tastier
I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Agree totally with the reviewer below. This frosting is the closest I've found to the tub stuff, but without the additives. I'm not a fan of buttercream, I like the real sweet, thick frosting and this is it!
Could this frosting be any easier and delicious? I think not! Don't be tempted to cut corners and buy frosting from the can. This recipe is simple and quite tasty.
