Easy to make and to work with. Doubled the recipe for use with a chocolate triple layer cake. For my tastes this didn't have enough sweetness to balance the large amount of butter, but we enjoyed trying it! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    I make this all the time and it is wonderful and easy. The kids love licking the bowl clean with this one. I also have used margarine sticks more times than I can count and it comes out great too. I especially like tinting this pink with some red food coloring and frosting it on my Fudgy Chocolate Cupcakes (Or Cake) with some colored sprinkles (jimmies). The kids go crazy over it when I do that.

    MizzNezz, this was the best frosting! not too sweet, and so fluffy. I made this to top my Vanilla cupcake recipe, and made the frosting with my own marshmallow fluff recipe(#75813) that I keep handy in my freezer for different recipes. This is a fantastic frosting recipe that I will be making again. I will make lots and keep it in the freezer. Thank you so much MizzNezz for sharing...Kitten

    I have tried soooo many buttercream recipes over the last few years and this is hands down the best! Easy to make, a dream to work with and excellent taste. At my daughter's birthday everybody commented on how nice the frosting was. So glad I found this, I can throw out all the others now! Thanks for posting it!
