This frosting is pretty stinking yummy. The only reason I gave it three and a half stars instead of something higher is because it just doesn't hold up like it claims to. Supposedly it "pipes well", but it was much to soft to hold any shape other than a blob! And I've decorated a cake or two in my lifetime. It also wasn't what I was hoping to get out of a whipped cream frosting. I was looking for a frosting recipe similar to the kind used on Walmart bakery cakes. I love that frosting! This was still good though, and was great for me because it wasn't as super sweet as a traditional buttercream. Oh, and I tried to dye it green but wasn't very successful. I put the dye in with the cream cheese mixture and had the color I wanted, but then when I folded the whipped cream in it completely washed out the color. Next time I might try adding it once it is already mixed. I was just worried that over mixing it would make it soften too much, but it's super soft anyway. So it's a delicious frosting for frosting purposes only, not decorating.
