Gross! RAW eggs?? That's a good way to get sick! This recipe tastes nasty. Never will make it again! -
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. -
I made this not even thinking of the RAW egg! And my family and I got sick, luckily my 3 year old only had a dabble so he wasn't affected. It was good in flavor but next time I'm going with a no egg recipe. -
Excellent...very easy, smooth, tastes good. A keeper! -
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

Quick easy recipe. Easy to make and spread. I used meringue powder instead of egg whites, very fluffy. Thank you.
