"This is a really great fluffy white frosting --- for the best results use only whipping cream for this --- this may easily be doubled and also freezes well."

  1. I loved this recipe, I have tried to make white frosting a couple of times using the boiling method. Of course i failed everytime. This method is a simple and tasty white frosting. I thought the shortening was going to make it taste a bit strange, but it tastes sooooo good. thanks.
     
  2. WOW...This is the recipe that I've been trying to locate for the last 4 years..It's a great light frosting and I would use it to decorate my cupcakes.It's from a Duncan Hines cake box.All ingredients are the same except it called for 1/3 cup milk instead of the whipping cream
     
  3. A beautiful, easy to work with, fluffy white frosting! The taste is very good...usually I avoid using shortening because I find it has an "oily" taste, but this turned out so nicely! Iced my cake beautifully. Thank you!
     
  4. Very buttery taste. Nice texture. Holds well to the cake and doesn't "melt" or drip like some homemade icings. Best tasting the next day after being in the fridge...too bad it wasn't optimal at room temperature.
     
  5. Excellent! It spread on my cake just perfectly.I used clear vanilla so I would get a really white icing to set off the chocolate cake. I love this type of icing and if it wouldn't have sent me into a sugar coma I could have eaten it by the spoonful!
