This French vanilla frosting was very easy to make.

It was very delicious, my whole family enjoyed it.

Perfect, not too sweet, and great for wedding cakes. If you don't care for regular buttercreme or fondant, you will love, love, love this.

Loved this frosting. Tastes just like whipped cream frosting!!!


Very good. Everyone really liked this fluffy vanilla frosting

This was a big hit with my family. A lot better than the one I made last time using shortening. Reminded us of grandma's red cake frosting.

AMAZING! Made it once a month ago and VERY EASY to make. Different from how I make all other frostings up till now. But this is my new favorite! Everyone loves it! Great to dip strawberries in as well!

This frosting was THE BEST! I'm 13 and it was very simple and tastes great on chocolate cake!!! As soon as I tasted it, I was in awe. The flavors are amazing, and combine wonderfully! I added a little bit of almond extract in it and it made it heavenly! Thank you for this fantastic recipe!!!! :)

Okay so me and a friend tried to make this recipe for some cupcakes and it didn't work at all. The icing was extremely watery and tasted like butter. We checked and double checked and we didn't make any mistakes in regards to the ingredients and measurements. I'm kind of disappointed.

The recipe didnt work for me. I'm really disappointed. I tried making it twice, neither time worked and it wasted all of my ingredients. It came out VERY watery so you couldnt even frost a cupcake. I followed all of the directions (would of. been better if it was more detailed) but it still did not work

For some reason Im not able to get rid of the gritty texture. I've beat the mixture more than 5 minutes and it wont get creamy. I love the taste though. About to try my third batch. Any help appreciated.
