"This is similar to bakery frosting and so much better than any canned! --- for extra fluffy frosting use heavy cream and make certain to beat for at least 3-5 minutes and remember to sift the confectioners sugar before using. For flavor and color you can add 1-2 envelopes 3-grams each, Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Flavor Mix, any flavor desired -- and for extra fluffy creamy frosting mix in some thawed Cool Whip frozen topping, starting with 1/4 cup adding in more until you reach your desired consistancy"
