Disappointing! After reading some of the reviews, I used all butter instead of shortening, the result was terrible. The frosting looked as if it had curdled. I ended up using two additional cups of sugar before it resembled anything like butter cream frosting. Will not use this recipe again.

Im actually a little dissappointed in this recipe. The texture was very tough and the flavor was not so good. All I could taste was the shortening and definitely not sweet enough to be called frosting!
