While not as sweet as buttercream, this frosting made with whipping cream is smooth, creamy and a pleasure to pipe onto cupcakes.

We took this recipe back into the Test Kitchen to address any issues. The directions will be updated soon to help provide the best results. This is a nice frosting with the flavor and consistency of whipped cream with the addition of gelatin to give the frosting added stability. For best results, be sure the whipping cream is well chilled and also place your beaters and mixing bowl in the refrigerator for about half an hour before starting the recipe.

I tried this 2 times, and both times if failed miserably... would love to know how to make a firmer whipping cream frosting, but one that works.
