This recipe is very simple and rich. I used it on Paula Deen's Basic 1-2-3-4 Cake. It was sweet, and might taste good with something tart and tangy like strawberries and kiwi. It was great, and my family liked it.

I've never made a frosting that has to be cooked, so I can't compare, but this recipe is very good. My boyfriend thought I should put this frosting on everything!

This frosting was one of the simplest recipes I've ever used and turned out to be the best tasting as well. The whipped cream made it fluffy and rich but not too runny thus perfect for decorating cakes. I swear this frosting gave my cake the Victorian taste I was looking for.

This icing is fantastic and so easy to make. I made it on a Thursday and frosted a "Fire Breathing Dragon" cake with it on Saturday. Just allow plenty of time for the icing to thaw - once it thawed I put it back in my mixer and whipped it up with a touch more heavy cream. Easy and tasted out of this world!!

Great recipe if you need instant icing. Cons, very sugary sweet, and frosting appeared a little broken after I had added the cream (well, I used milk, this might not have helped. Piped well, but this frosting would not hold up to time well. Forget using it on a decorated cake or wedding cake that needs to sit for a few hours. If you have the time, make a french or italian buttercream, much smoother, shinier, and more stable. But, if you don't have the time, this recipe works.

This is an easy recipe if you are a first-time buttercream frosting maker, like I was when I made it! It took food coloring well. It was not too sweet (at least to me but I did add a little more cream than it called for, to soften it up a bit. However, it was just a tad bit too soft in my decorator for my taste, but worked okay anyway.
