Submitted by RedHotBeads

"I found this recipe on a bottle of Philosophy shower gel - a very odd place to find a recipe, I will admit. It makes excellent frosting for cakes or cookies, though. I wanted to enter it here so I wouldn't lose it!"

This is a good standby recipe for frosting. Have been using it for years. Sub almond extract for the vanilla for a change. Cut the recipe to 1/3, thin it with a little more whipping cream, or milk if you prefer, and it can be used as a glaze on a bundt cake. Better than the store bought for sure!
