My review
Quick Vanilla Frosting
Gary

It didn't stay a thick frosting all day and it soked in to my cake. It wasn't over poweringly sweet, which i liked. But it just fizzed out after a while.

I really wanted this one to work for me but it just wouldn't get thicker! I ended up beating it for ten minutes and it just did not work for me, it was extremely liquidy.

This was okay if you like marshmallows. But I couldn't really taste it on the cupcakes I made.

This is a wonderful, easy recipe to make, and it tastes like dream whip, but it's better!
