Has anyone made this frosting and if so how was it? Was it easy to decorate and frost with? Any tips to offer? Also did you have a problem leaving the cake out at room temp & how was the taste? Thank you.
I have made it and have done some simple decorating (shells and such). I'm using it this week for a star wars cake and I haven't been able to get the colors very dark, but other than that, no real problems. The practice cake I made was left out with no problems.
Does this frosting taste like whipped or buttercream or is it a combination of both? My husband is very picky about frosting (must be whipped) but I find whipped difficult to decorate with...
I baked a cake for someone who is very picky about the frosting (Not too sweet, not too buttery, not too crisco-like) and she loved it. I do agree that it is hard to pipe with even though others swear they can make roses with it. I did use it to make grass though and each blade of grass held it's shape.
this is my new favorite frosting!! It's delicious , light & fluffy, and best of all, not too sweet. I've only frosted cakes and done borders so far and I found it great to work with. Haven't tried roses yet though. It's also great for fillings! I mixed crushed oreos in some of it for a cookies-n-cream filling and everyone loved. I especially loved it since it didn't require refrigeration.
when the cake is frosted does it need to be refrigerated? thanks guys for all the info.

I left my cake out for several days......As long as you don't have a filling that needs refrigeration, then you can leave it out for a while. I just finished using up some left over frosting today that I made last wednesday and it was just as yummy 
If you want frosting that tastes like whipped cream, make the 'creamy whipped frosting'...here it is...
Made with evaporated milk, this achieves the consistency of whipped cream.
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup cold evaporated milk
1 In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla for 8 to 10 minutes. With mixer on high, add cold evaporated milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
2 Frost cake as desired and keep refrigerated.
I tried this frosting this weekend and I like the texture and look of it (just like the baker) but when it came to doing roses it was a bit too soft. what can i do? I have no idea how someone can do basketweave with this. Would adding some meringue powder to it make it a bit stiffer without making it crusted?
caixa your basketweave looks great. Did you add an extra tsp to the whole batch or just your decorating portion?
