Recently it seems like half the time someone gets a cake from a bakery they get the new whipped-toping style frosting.

Personally I dislike it, it seems like it has very little taste, granted its probably less bad for you but its not like you eat it every day.

Anyone with me?

I like the betty crocker chocolate icing you can get at the grocery store. I can eat that stuff strait out of the can. :)

I would if I ever ordered a cake. I'm talking about others. I just prefer the other stuff.

I really really hope you aren't talking about the type of frosting that's typically on old school sheet cakes. That stuff sucks.

Of course! The stuff that actually tastes like it has sugar in it!

Cream cheese frosting and real chocolate fudge frosting are the only good ones, the rest taste like chemical junk.

Too much of either one is the problem.

I don't like whipped - too airy (which it's supposed to be anyway). Cream cheese frosting, or butter-based, thick frostings are the best.
Too many of the ready-made things are based on shortening. Ick.

add homemade maple frosting, and buttercream frosting to the list, and my g'ma makes a peanut butter frosting that kicks ass.
