Sturdy Whipped Cream Frosting

Worked very well for my homemade cookies and cream ice cream cake I made for my son’s birthday. I added cookie crumbs to it to frost the cake and it was still sturdy. I used the plain frost for the trim. It was my first time making one and it turned out great!

I don't know WHY people are having problems with this recipe. It is not hard at all. I have been making it for years and it holds up and pipes for me. I think people are OVER whipping which will cause it to fall and become soupy. Timing is everything. This cake was made with only this recipe. No changes.I slowly add the whipping cream into my mixture and it works just fine

Wonderful recipe. Served with chocolate layer cake.

Best frosting by far for my almond crème cake...I was able to cover entire cake for crumb layer, generously frost in between 3 layers and pipe top and sides. Not too sweet and so light LOVE this frosting!

I followed the recipe exact and it was great. I should have used strawberry flavoring instead of the almond my granddaughter would have liked it more. I covered the cake in the frosting and did all the piping with the same frosting. Very delicious and not super sweet. Left the cake out for over 24 hours and the frosting stood up.

Taste and spread great. No problems or changes made to recipe.

The first time I made this, I read all the reviews and did the extra steps one reviewer suggested where the cream is whipped first and separately, and the other ingredients combined, and then both are folded together. It was WONDERFUL! I have also made it exactly as the recipe states with absolutely NO issues. So, for me, the extra steps are unnecessary. (But they did make me feel oddly better the first time making it, and I DO still add the Cream of Tartar). Since then, this has been the only frosting I serve. It's so wonderful with chocolate cake, pairs really well with Fruit, and it isn't overly sweet which all the adults in my family appreciate (but it's still sweet enough for my 5 year old to love it!) No, it's not meant to be piped into decorations, but it's VERY easy to work with and the flavor makes it a really easy choice. I am NOT super experienced in the kitchen, but this frosting has made EVERY birthday/holiday cake I've served for the last few years a major hit with everyone I know!
