Quite honestly I use a premade frosting, but would love to find a home made frosting that tastes good. I have had no success.. UGGH!
I don't like the type that you have to cook and do all that fun stuff to and it never comes out right anyway, and I have tried the basic shortening butter confection sugar and milk, yeah no success there. Any other suggestions?

Here's a site with nice frosting recipes:
