WOW! This frosting is absolutely amazing. It’s so light and fluffy and super easy to make. I made it for my nephew who is obsessed with cupcakes and all of us loved it. It is definitely the best vanilla frosting I’ve ever had.

I read the frosting recipe and thought “this can’t be right.” After I cooked the milk and flour I looked in the pot and thought “this can’t be right.” When I stopped to test the consistency of the creamed butter and sugar and it still wasn’t smooth I thought “this can’t be right.” And after I combined the ingredients, mixed the dickens out the ingredients and then sampled the result I realized that my pessimism was so wrong. This is a winner!

This is my new favorite frosting! I hate the stuff with shortening in it from the store. You have to follow the directions exactly but it is so worth it. Everybody I have made it for loves it. I don’t want any other kind now after I tasted this.

Okay, so I am making this at the moment, I’m at the final step, mixing everything together. Yeah, well it turned out chunky? Did I add too much flour? That’s what it tastes like, a lot of flour.

Delicious!! Will be making this frosting time and time again. Was a bit concerned that my roux sat for an hour while making dinner and also forgot to add the vanilla until the final beating, but it turned out perfect!

I’ve made this a few times and it always turns out well… I hate to hear that others have struggled with it. Definitely take the time to whip together the butter and sugar almost completely; this is important to avoid a gritty texture from the sugar. You may need to wipe the rim of your bowl and switch to a clean spatula too, to make sure anything with sugar grains is gone. Ree mentioned waiting to make/use this until the day you plan to eat your cake – Mine seems to hold up well enough for at least a day in advance, but your mileage may vary.

Wow. First a confession, the first time I made this it was a disaster. I didn’t properly cream my sugar/butter. However, I made a chocolate cake a few weeks ago and didn’t want to use the frosting we had on hand. I had all the ingredients so I decided to give this frosting another chance. I am so glad I did. It is wonderful. It doesn’t have the weird frosting taste that you get from some frosting and it is not (to me) overly sweet. It is perfect. I brought a slice to a friend and she agreed that the frosting was the best she has ever had. I highly recommend this recipe.
