However, if you're piping a lot of decorations, it can get soft from the heat of your hands. I've never had a problem with the cupcakes, though. I can tell in one bite if it's a shortening frosting. Even if they add butter extract, it still has that shortening flavor. <br /><br />Bottom line, give it a whirl and see what you think. :)Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-75293664429938055432016-03-01T15:07:29.704-05:002016-03-01T15:07:29.704-05:00You have a lid, chute thing for your kitchenaid mi...You have a lid, chute thing for your kitchenaid mixer!!!

Something I do to cut the sweetness is add a pinch or two of salt. But then I usually add unsalted butter. Still, salt will tame a bit of the sweetness.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-30638854514724239752016-03-01T10:59:16.887-05:002016-03-01T10:59:16.887-05:00Yes, we are, Sandra.

Mine gets to the point where it's too sweet because I keep adding icing sugar because I added too much milk but I only add about a 1/4 cup of butter so clearly I've been skimping. :-)Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-2168509209561281882016-03-01T07:41:55.635-05:002016-03-01T07:41:55.635-05:00Happy Birthday, Mindy.
