Like this a lot. But next time will cut in half. Even frosting lovers will find this to be overwhelming in quantity. I read the reviews but didn't heed the warnings as I made a double batch of coconut cupcakes and didn't want to get to the last of them and run short of frosting, One batch of this frosting and 50 jumbo cupcakes later and I could have frosted another 20 I believe...and I was putting big fluffy clouds of frosting on each one! If you don't have a KitchenAid mixer cut in half or you'll be drowning in the stuff and be forced to eat your way out! What a way to go.....1Reply

This was easy to make & I'm glad i cut the recipe in 1/2! It makes a tonne. I had 50 cupcakes to frost & i had more than enough icing. I had made the icing & planned on frosting the cupcakes later when I arrived at a party; however, i found it sort of got "stiff" as it sat. I re-whipped the frostng & it softened again; but, lost some of it's fluffy-factor. So, i'd suggest frosting as soon as you make this recipe.Reply
