It seems to me that every cake from a commercial bakery I've ever tasted had frosting that resembles sweetened grease. I get the impression that the composition of their frostings favors artistic appearance over palatability. I much prefer a simple frosting, easily made with confectioner sugar, a little butter or margarine, and whatever little milk is needed for spreadability without being drippy. How do the cake providers already listed in this thread fare with respect to their frostings?
