    It was easy and fabulous. I don't understand other "buttercream" icing recipes that use shortening. Those should be vanilla shortening recipes. This is a great recipe!

    great recipe, really fast and easy. I did soften the butter in the micro first. I'm not sure why the directions don't tell you to do that. It made a good amount of frosting. I generously frosted 30 cupcakes with it.
