Did you alter anything else? Mine came out really runny.

FABULOUS recipe. So glad I found it. I did cut back powdered sugar to 3 cups since most people say they don't like real sweet frosting and it was perfect!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't as smooth and creamy as a true buttercream frosting. I followed recipe exactly, and I wasn't as impressed as I had hoped based upon the reviews. Has definite potential.

My friend made this at work for December birthdays to go with Mrs. Billet's white cake. It was amazing!! Since she added a filling between the layers instead of this, it turned out to be a little too much frosting....too bad...we will just eat it with graham crackers!
