Very good. I used this recipe to decorate heart shaped Rice Krispie treats for Valentines day. Used as much milk as I needed for the right consistency. : ) -
This frosting is delicious! I did have to add quite a bit more milk than what the recipe called for. I added a little at a time until I had the right consistency. We used it for cut out sugar cookies for my sons Christmas party. I will definitely use this one again. -
This frosting was delicious...but I had problems getting it to the consistency that I wanted. I added a little merengue powder to get some firmness. -
super recipe!! tasted like vanilla ice cream deliciousness. i needed way more milk than it called for, but i added 1/2 tblsp at a time until it was the consistency i wanted. definitely will be using this recipe from now on! -

Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
