This icing is so tasty, I just made it for the first time. I replaced one cup of shortening for one cup of butter (now needs refrigeration). Who knew that the non-dairy creamer would work in this. I will definitely use this for my next cake.

This is one of the best frostings I have used. I made 2 batches this weekend and both turned out great. On the first batch I used the recommended amount of almond extract and it was a little strong, so on the second batch I reduced it to a 1/2 tsp and it was perfect. Great recipe that I will for sure be adding to my recipe box. Thank you for sharing! Happy Holiday's!

This is the best frosting that I have ever made hands down. It has great texture and spreads very smooth. I will be using this one for now on. I used butter flavored Crisco sticks. I mixed this up in my 4 1/2 qtr Kitchen Aid mixer and the frosting filled it up about 3/4's of the bowl. So it makes a lot at a time.
