My great grandmother, grandmother, and mother have all made this recipe and the recipe was passed to my sister and I and we make it as well. We've never got sick from the eggs, however it did worry me so the couple times i did make it i used the whites that come in the carton so if you like this recipe but are worried of getting sick, try that.

My mom raved about it... good, solid frosting recipe. Kids loved it. For me, it's 4 stars... but I'll go with what my mom and kids were saying.<br/><br/>I don't like the taste of shortening found in some frostings... so I used 2/3 butter and 1/3 shortening. This made for a great flavor, but not the very nice white color that would be perfect. Thanks for sharing.

This is fantastic. I used butter instead of shortening, so it didn't turn out as white as probably shortening would. I loved it,though, and the consistancy is great for spreading. I used small eggs and added 1 more cup of powder sugar. I never would have thought of using eggs in a non cook frosting but I'm sure glad I tried it. Thanks
