Oh, wow! This is the most wonderful frosting--so light and fluffy and delicious! I omitted the shortening & doubled the butter and and used 2 tsp of raspberry flavoring instead of the liquor. I used it to frost a chocolate cake and embellished it with chocolate-dipped raspberries and dark chocolate drizzle. Made a beautiful and delicious cake!
