Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is from Kaiti Jones. This recipe works especially well using gluten free 1:1 flour. It is suggested that you sift the flour before adding to recipe.

Kaiti recommends cutting frosting recipe in half, as this recipe makes a lot. Also, this recipe takes food coloring real well. You can always freeze frosting and use at a later date.
