I've read some of the comments about how it has a lot of shortening, well butter cream decorator frostings do contain lots of shortening. This recipe however has the advantage of the powdered creamer in it which makes the frosting creamier and smoother. The creamer adds to the flavor along with the almond flavoring. It works well in a decorator bag as well as spreading it with a knife. I love this recipe much more then to standard butter cream decorator frosting recipe.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-03-07","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"kdwswbabb"},"reviewBody":"This was a nasty mistake.

If you don't care for bakery style frosting, then this isn't for you. It most definitely is the exact taste and consistency of the bakery!

So I added 1 tsp of vanilla, seemed closer, but needed something else. Then I added 1 cap full of lemon extract and that was it! Crumb coat was great, frosted great, piped wonderfully.

I will agree with JB PAR on this recipe. The use of powdered creamer is terrible. This screams of shortening and not smooth, creamy icing. I much prefer a sweet and creamy buttercream icing for my cake than this one. And no bakery I ever went to has icing that tastes like this recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"06\/16\/2015 15:32","GUID":"1667a2d83f624f9e80f34c3ddc1435c5","MemberId":5726087,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"snicknreese","SubmittedDate":"06\/16\/2015 15:32"},{"Comment":"

As a novice cake decorator who loves to decorate cakes for my family, I love this recipe for use as a decorator frosting. I've read some of the comments about how it has a lot of shortening, well butter cream decorator frostings do contain lots of shortening. This recipe however has the advantage of the powdered creamer in it which makes the frosting creamier and smoother. The creamer adds to the flavor along with the almond flavoring. It works well in a decorator bag as well as spreading it with a knife. I love this recipe much more then to standard butter cream decorator frosting recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"10\/29\/2014 14:33","GUID":"79b7a7961a0a4b6f878e26edaf76507f","MemberId":3231142,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Momto4kds","SubmittedDate":"10\/29\/2014 14:32"},{"Comment":"
I don't usually write bad reviews, buttttt......this really is awful!! It doesn't resemble any bakery frosting I've ever had. No matter what flavor you add to it I feel like I have a mouth full of shortening! And powered non-dairy creamer is something I've never liked and don't know why its even added to the frosting. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"07\/22\/2014 05:57","GUID":"f01497908cc3486291a3f7056b2211b9","MemberId":7645480,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"jbpar","SubmittedDate":"07\/22\/2014 05:57"},{"Comment":"

I made this last evening. It is very good. I only made half of a batch since I was frosting some banana cupcakes. I added both almond and vanilla. I used my stand mixer with the whisk attachment and beat the shortening and creamer for over five minutes, scraping the bowl occassionally. I still have half of what I made leftover so I'm storing in the refrig until I need frosting again.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"06\/26\/2014 13:42","GUID":"CCC5521D3EE50CE5B8A766AC11AF76F2","MemberId":47124,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"redcow","SubmittedDate":"06\/26\/2014 13:35"},{"Comment":"
This has become my go to frosting recipe!! It's so easy to change the flavor by changing the flavor of the powdered coffee creamer, or sometimes I use malted milk powder which is especially good on a chocolate cake!! Be sure to beat this in a stand mixer for a full 5 minutes, though, otherwise it can be a little greasy tasting<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"08\/22\/2013 14:58","GUID":"36a645d1b21f4b92ae6f66daed226afe","MemberId":2581969,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"shawnba","SubmittedDate":"08\/22\/2013 14:58"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"07\/05\/2013 12:29","GUID":"6f3c718545964a228ac6ae1b0fa370fd","MemberId":7326079,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"jamy665898","SubmittedDate":"07\/05\/2013 12:29"},{"Comment":"
Given the mixed reviews I cut the recipe in 1\/2. I also substituted 1\/2 of the shortening for softened butter. I used both vanilla and cherry extracts. Perfect!

This frosting tastes nothing like bakery frosting, and is not very tasty. I added vanilla extract to try and help the taste but it was still no good.

i was looking for a frosting that was easy and needed no refrigeration. i thought i had found it...but this is so too sweet and nothing like the frosting from any bakery that i know. i did give it two stars though because it keeps in the fridge for months so i kept it... to practice my frosting techniques with. i practice frosting cupcakes with it by using the bottom of a glass that is the same size as a cupcake, when I'm done i just scrape it off and put it back in the fridge. the container i keep it in is marked "practice frosting"and that is the only thing that i use it for.<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"07\/17\/2012 16:49","GUID":"0c8133f8155d48f09876cc0dfe70c665","MemberId":6774509,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"bakingbutterfly","SubmittedDate":"07\/17\/2012 16:49"},{"Comment":"
This is exactly what I was looking for to decorate my 6yo's birthday cake. If you don't care for bakery style frosting, then this isn't for you. It most definitely is the exact taste and consistency of the bakery! I took the advice of adding different extracts after tasting it with just almond. I usually love almond, but it seemed to be missing something. So I added 1 tsp of vanilla, seemed closer, but needed something else. Then I added 1 cap full of lemon extract and that was it! Crumb coat was great, frosted great, piped wonderfully. Will definitely make this for future cakes.<\/p>","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"06\/28\/2012 18:40","GUID":"c959d28cce754c0eb8bd399e77ccdf00","MemberId":6754876,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"team144","SubmittedDate":"06\/28\/2012 18:40"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"05\/30\/2012 06:49","GUID":"2f65c1a2a4264d4292d415ae03f0a124","MemberId":4360159,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"mrsbates","SubmittedDate":"05\/30\/2012 06:49"},{"Comment":"

Excellent. I halved the recipe, using four cups of sugar. While mixing the frosting, once all the sugar was added, I beat it with a stand mixer for a full three minutes, to make sure the mixture was blended well. It did not taste greasy. I will definitely make again. It turned out just like the professional bakery frosting.

The frosting was excellent. The almond flavor was to strong for my liking so I added 1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and the flavor was great.
