Laurie says:
This is my very favorite frosting on devils food cake. It is one of the two recipes that I never give out, although everyone asks for it.

We have been making this frosting in my family for probably 40 years or more along with a homemade chocolate cake from scratch. It is the most requested frosting and cake when we have birthdays or family gatherings. One thing we have done with this recipe is split the Crisco in half and used half Crisco and half butter. Generally we will then place it in the frig. for about an hour to let it set before we spread it on top of the cake. Still the best frosting ever!

I have been making this icing for 50 years - It was in a Crisco cook book when I was a child. It is still great.

Linda (Alaska) says:
I was raised on this icing recipe and making it since I was a teenager. It is the only icing recipe I ever make for any cake. I'm now seven days so I've been using this recipe for icing 55 years. Everyone loves it and everybody asked for it.
