This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I would recommend using less sugar if you're not a fan of overly sweet frosting.

This frosting is a bit too dense for my liking. I prefer a lighter, fluffier frosting.

I've tried a lot of buttercream frosting recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love the vanilla flavor, but I've also tried adding different extracts, like almond or lemon, to change it up.
