My grandma has been making this frosting recipe as far back as I can remember.
Recipe from the book of my grandmother, who happened to my mother and then my, this recipe for over 40 years has never failed!
It’s like a marshmallow fluff, only smoother, fluffier, and not quite so sweet!
We then go to the recipe … I know that you, like me, love this frosting ..
