My dad has never liked frosting. When we were kids and my mom made a cake she always left half unfrosted for him. Even store bought frosting, he wouldn't eat. And he HATES crisco style buttercream. Well, at DS's birthday party, I told him that I make my bc with real butter (I actually do 1/2 butter, 1/2 crisco, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him...) and he ATE IT!!! AND LOVED IT!!! I really think that's the first time I've ever seen my dad eat frosting in my entire life. He could not have paid me a better compliment!!!

Congrats! I will eat a bit if it is made with butter. Generally I do not like frosting either, just too sweet. Love playing with it though!

Wow! Thats great!! Especially considering that men can be so picky, lol!!!!

good job, that's a great compliment.

That is a great compliment!!

Wow! How encouraging that must have been. I know that must have meant so much to you.

WoooHooo!!!

What an awesome compliment to you!!! My husband has never liked frosting either but he likes the 1/2 and 1/2 as well. It just tastes better!
Glad you changed your dads mind on frosting! He's just never had the good stuff until his daughter served it up! Way to go!

That must've made you feel awesome. Awesome. Did you use BC Dream?

I actually just use the Wilton recipe 1/2 butter, 1/2 crisco

That's awesome!!! He just never had the good stuff before.
I used to hate pineapple. Seriously until I was 23 I couldn't stand the stuff until I had it fresh. Turns out I just always had it on pizza and that is yucky!

nice. Speaking of frosting....I've slowly been eating away at the leftover butter cream dream icing I made last weekend. UGH. NOT GOOD for the hips and thighs!

That's so funny! There must be something special about that frosting because my neighbors whow "hate" buttercream absolutely devoured a cake I had frosted with the Wilton 1/2 butter/ 1/2 crisco recipe

Yay! What a wonderful compliment to you!!!
