I had a little trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was a little too runny at first, but I was able to fix it by adding a little more powdered sugar.

This frosting is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar if you don't like your frosting too sweet.
