This recipe is AWESOME!!!! It is easy, quick, and delicious!!! As a young baker, I would highly reccomend this recipe!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Never have I seen such an easy recipe that tastes so good.

Its delicous ! I made it on valentines day :)

I just made this for my husband's birthday cake today as I forgot to buy store-bought icing. I am NOT a good cook, but this looked so easy I thought I'd give it a try. YUM! Turned out perfectly, and tastes amazing! I can't wait to let my husband try it tonight! Thanks!

This was really easy and tasted so good! I like that it did not contain any shortening. Very quick and smooth! I will use this one over and over again!!

Excellent and very easy recipe. It doesn't use raw eggs which makes it a great choice for a children's birthday cake. Kids should not eat raw eggs, ya know. You might have to add more milk, depending on what type of confectioners sugar you use. Some confectioner's sugar comes with cornstarch or another ingredient added, which makes it stiffer.

Wonderful recipe - the simplest that I've found. I was actually Googling Alton Brown's recipe when this came up in the results. I'll be sure to try this out! Best of all, no raw eggs. I don't really have anything against raw eggs myself, but my parents freak out when they see me eating something with a high raw egg content. :P

This recipe is fabulous. Ran out of storebought so I used this and no one noticed the difference. I think I will use it next cause its easy and cheap.

A couple of modifications to make this better:
- use a little less sugar(it's way to sugary and it's not thin enough to spread as it stands).
- sift you powdered sugar first, if you are really motivated do it twice for no lumps.
- add 2 tablespoons of meringue powder (it helps with consistency and aids with piping, also helps reduce the sugar you will need). You can buy this at Sur La Table, Williams Sonoma or online at a myriad of sources.

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOO much! You are my hero!

Some people have complained of this being clumpy or runny. My mom made it and it was actually too firm and when she put more milk, it made it runny. However, my consistency was perfect! Also, as far as clumpy, keep it mixing for longer. I use my Kitchenaid...I'm not sure if a hand mixer will work as well.

This recipe is great. I added a half a cup of peanut butter to it and it was so good.

omg this recipe is awsome

This recipe was not as good as it could have been yet it was still delicious.

I've used this recipe twice. The first time I melted the butter in the microwave and got icing. The second time I let the butter soften the slow way and I got the frosting. Both were yummy!

If you're going to quick-soften the butter in your microwave, do it at half-temperature so you don't melt it, otherwise you get the wrong consistency. ;)

This is a great recipe! Simple and delicious. Melt your butter only until it is soft and still holding its shape. I found this was easier to mix with the fork than the hand blender. Nice and fluffy. Add milk one tablespoon at a time for consistency. It is more like icing with fully melted butter and more milk. Thanks!

So simple with everyday ingredients! No eggs, no shortening! I had googled "easy frosting" and this truly is! My 12 year old made it and in less than 5 minutes the cake was done. We did let the butter soften at room temperature for awhile which I think would make a better consistency than microwaving. It is so delicious and not sickening sweet like store bought cake.
