Will frost 2 layers or 1 angel food cake
"Love it! Yes, it is very sweet and I'm so glad! Most of the other buttercream frosting recipes I tried were not and thus, very bland to me. When I looked at the reviews for this recipe and saw people complaining about it being too sweet I knew I had to try it. Icing is meant to be sweet! And this one fits the bill! I did add a little extra milk to make it more spreadable but other than that it's perfect." - AprilCanLearnToCookYield: 12 Ready in 45 minutes

This turned out weird. It was more like a sugary, runny glaze with a strong essence of vanilla extract. To make it work I added cream cheese and more powdered sugar to try to compensate for the flavor and thicken the texture. It helped but I also had to refrigerate it to firm it up. I won't use this recipe again.

I took the advice of another review and added a little salt, and this frosting was surprisingly great!

Great recipe....but if you add 1/4 tsp of salt it gives the icing some dimension in flavor and enhances the sweetness of it. Other than that it's an AMAZING recipe

Love this recipe but over the years I can't eat such sweet things so I added 4 ozs sour cream to the recipe!

This is great! So easy and the measurements were perfect. I even used light vanilla Silk in place of the milk and it tasted awesome!

It wasn't good. Its way too sweet, and there is too much vanilla making it have a weird flavor.
