I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my frosting turned out grainy. I think I might have overmixed it.

This frosting is so easy to make! I love that I can customize it with different flavors and colors. I've used it to make everything from simple cupcakes to elaborate wedding cakes.

This frosting is a bit runny, but it still tastes good. I think I'll add a little more powdered sugar next time to thicken it up.

This frosting is perfect! It's not too sweet, and it's so creamy and smooth. I used it to frost a cake for my husband's birthday, and he loved it. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I'm not a huge fan of this frosting. It's too sweet for my taste, and it's not as creamy as I would like. I think I'll stick to my old frosting recipe.

I made this frosting for the first time last week and it was a disaster. It was too thin and runny, and it didn't pipe well at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I'm definitely not going to try this recipe again.
