"Mom used this sweet frosting for all of our family's birthday cakes," recalls Barbara Jones of Tower Hill, Illinois. "Now I use it on cakes for our three preschoolers." A big batch keeps for quite a while in the refrigerator and is cheaper than canned frosting. More Homemade Frosting Recipes»

Excellent. I halved the recipe, using four cups of sugar. While mixing the frosting, once all the sugar was added, I beat it with a stand mixer for a full three minutes, to make sure the mixture was blended well. It did not taste greasy. I will definitely make again. It turned out just like the professional bakery frosting. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Very good! would for sure make it again, a whole bag of sugar was a bit much, so I just added as needed and ended up with about a cup left over. perfect!

The frosting was excellent. The almond flavor was to strong for my liking so I added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and the flavor was great. I let the icing sit overnight in the refrigator and it was much better the next. I got rave reviews on the cake. It was not greasy at all. It made a georgous cake and it was delicious to boot!

Not much flavor and left a slick coating in the mouth.
