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.

This was the first time I ever made my own frosting! It came out pretty good. The vanilla made the icing a little dingy, so next time I think I will use the clear vanilla. I also used half and half instead of whipping cream. I think it made the texture a little weird - not as smooth as I would like it to be. Either that, or because I don't have a stand mixer, only a hand mixer. The frosting was delicious. Not too sweet.

I have made homemade frostings a few times with mixed results but this is the best recipe so far. Taking previous reviews into account, I added 1/4 tsp salt because I used unsalted butter and almond extract in place of vanilla. The consistency was alittle too soft for piping (probably too warm but it spread nicely on cupcakes. I sprinkled toasted, slivered almonds on top, sprinkled some with shredded coconut and some with chocolate chips. They were a hit.

I made a double batch but substituted the whipping cream with milk and added cocoa powder and instant espresso powder. It was wonderful. Not super sweet. It was a great compliment to the espresso cake I made.

Perfect balance of confectioners sugar, butter, vanilla, and cream. I used half and half as I was out of whipping cream...and it turned out great.

Overall, a good buttercream frosting which piped well on my chocolate cupcakes. I thought it was too sweet so I added more cream to the frosting, which lightened it a bit and resulted in a fluffier frosting. A previous reviewer also did the same thing.

I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 b/c no-cook frosting just doesn't measure up taste and texture-wise to cooked, but this is as good as it gets!
