This is excellent!! It worked perfectly on a half sheet cake (bakery size) and held up well without getting runny even on a hot day. I used light cream cheese and whipped it first with a hand mixer, then added name brand chocolate frosting. Delicious!! I had sooo many compliments on this frosting. Everyone wanted to know how I got it so creamy. Best of all...it's so easy peasy with only two ingredients! Thanks for posting Shirley. This is truly a keeper that I don't have to write down. -
This worked perfectly. I don't usually buy frosting, but I had a weak moment at the store with my 2 year old so we came home with some to make a cake! I added 1/2 tsp almond extract to the white frosting. Will certainly use this again! -
What a great idea, works perfect and taste is so much better than just the can stuff, now I'll keep a can on hand at all times for when I need it in a pinch

I live in a small rural town in central California. I am lucky enough to live and work in my community. I am the site coordinator for an after school program where we enroll over 100 students. My motto is there are no bad kids only bad parents. I have one daughter that is now in her second year of college and a husband that is the worse critic when it comes to food. He either likes it or doesn't no in between. I have been at the zaar for over a year now and continue to go back and forth on buying a membership, right now I'm going for buying. Trying to convince myself that it is only $2.00 a month and I could clean up that nonmember cookbook and get it organized so I might be able to find something :)I'm kinda a pack rat when it comes to food, I always have back ups and sometimes back ups for the back ups. My husband always tells everyone if there is a national disaster come to our house shirley will be able to feed an army. So yall are welcome too :)Edited to add i joined 12-31-06 my Christmas prsent to myself!
