    Incredible!
    I added crushed up oreos to it to make the grey fur for a kitten cake for my daughter's b-day. She loved it! :) - 9/17/11

    Incredible!
    VERY yummy recipe! I made pretty springtime flowers in the buttercream. My only complaint is that I should've halved the recipe, as I only had 12 cupcakes to decorate. I'll learn for next time though! - 3/23/11
