EXCELLENT!!! Tip: Use the best pure vanilla extract available. I used Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract. It's expensive but worth it.

I followed the recipe exactly and at first it came out way too buttery.
So I added another 2 cups of confec. sugar, some more vanilla and another tablespoon of
whipping cream. it helped but it was still over powered by the butter.

I made this the other day to frost Alton Brown's Sugar Cookies I was making for Christmas presents. It's a great frosting; buttery & not too sweet, and the perfect balance of sweetness for that particular cookie. It also spreads well & sets up nicely, so that after a couple of hours I could bag the cookies without getting frosting from one cookie onto the others. One batch frosted a double batch of his cookies.

So easy and delicious. I found it so hard to find a well reviewed frosting! I used whole milk (2 T in lieu of cream and lemon juice (1 T but otherwise followed exactly.

Excellent, I wouldn't change a thing, but I use Sugar In the Raw and it was great! Everyone at my Christmas party commented on the frosting said it was better than the cupcake stores.

It really should specify that the butter needs to be softened. It's a great recipe, however, I added an extra stick of butter because it was too sweet to my likening without.
