Very easy and really well liked by kids & adults. I've not mastered the ability to not get everything in the kitchen sticky with Marshmallow goop, but it's a price worth paying. I made it a second time with margarine and butter flavoring as an emergency substitution and it still held nicely. Thanks!

This was very easy to mix up. It took to color very well. My children loved it! It is easy to spread and amazingly not too sweet. Just remember that it IS frosting, so it might melt if you leave it out on a hot day!!! (My error. I melted the decorations right off of the doll cake that I made for my 4 year old! Really comical now. Good thing I got pictures of the cake right after I frosted it)

This was delicious! Made as directed and used it for the filling of my Ho Ho Cake. Everyone raved about it. I plan to use this recipe to frost many kinds of cakes. So easy and Sooooo good. It would make a wonderful filling for a twinkie cake. Thank you Boxerwing. Adding this to my favorites list.
