Wonderfully easy and delicious recipe. Beats the hell out of the canned stuff and so easy that even I can make it (this was my first time making frosting). I used all butter (1/2 cup) as opposed to shortening and butter and it tastes/looks great. Way too easy for as good as it is. Not a complex flavor I suppose, but DEFINITELY stands up to its name. Would definitely recommend!

This frosting was excellent! I had white cake mix and no frosting and two children beging for cake! I used veggie oil and blue bonnet margarne instead of crisco as well and it came out great! Thanks for sharing this recipe, the cake went n one night!

Wow! Yummy! Super Easy! I've never made my own frosting before....didn't really think it could be done. Thanks for saving me tons of money for all the future cupcakes and cakes I will have to make for my little boy. Good bye Duncan Hines! P.S. I used 1/4 cup of vegetable oil instead of shortening because I didn't have any of that in my house and it still turned out great.

I thought this was a good recipe. The butter-flavored Crisco adds great depth to the flavor!
