  1. looked weird, bad consistency
     
  2. I made this with margarine and almond milk to make it dairy-free and it didn't work very well. The margarine separated itself from the sugar and it just wasn't good. That might have been my fault for the substitution, though. It was kind of gross because all I tasted was margarine.
     
  3. I loved the taste of this frosting. However, I could not get the consistency right for the life of me! I made two separate batches, the second batch turned out better using only 1/4 milk as stated in the recipe. The first batch I used 1/2 cup milk. The frosting looked pretty grainy. I used powdered sugar, maybe I should have used a finer blend or something.
     
  4. As written, I found it to be a little too thick to spread. I added more milk to thin it down a bit and it was much better. I prefer my icing to have a stronger butter taste rather than being so sweet, so personally I think it would be better with about 2 more tablespoons of butter in it. It worked fairly well for icing the 12 Recipe #303771 I made.
     
  5. This was a great easy frosting. I also needed to add more milk but its a keeper. We used it for our heart shaped sugar cookies.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I became a foodie when I went on my first ever diet. (: I can't cook very well, because I'm always too afraid of hot oil burning me, but I love baking! Hence you'd notice that all my recipes (and all the recipes I've saved into my cookbook) involve baking. I hope to be able to make fantastic baked rice someday, and am always on the lookout for HEALTHY LOW-CALORIE recipes! (: Oh, and if you know of any low-calorie indian recipes (I love Indian food, but it seems like they're all very oily and unhealthy..) do share them with me!
