This icing was WAY too sweet and sugary! In fact, there was no taste to it except for powdered sugar! It was also very thin, watery, and somewhat clumpy... no matter how much I mixed it. Won't be using this again.

The buttercream itself tastes great. It's a very rich flavor, but one that compliments the cake well. My only vice about this recipe is in the directions-they state to melt the butter in a double boiler and then combine with the powdered sugar. I encountered a huge problem with this, b/c it made the consistency of the icing thinner, and the icing would not stay on the cake. It was literally melting/dripping off. So, my suggestion would be to keep the butter at room temp. and not melt it for a thicker consistency, but again, the taste is wonderful.

this icing is highly palatable, but the consistency and volume yielded by the recipe were disappointing. There was not enough for a 2-layer, 9-inch cake.
