I agree Dick R. What you are describing is butter cream frosting. To me it feels like sweetened Crisco in your mouth. Believe it or not, the bakery in the Alton Hannafords has a delicious, light and fluffy frosting that is more like a light whipped cream. The labels on these cakes and cupcakes say "Our Best Cream". Their mocha frosting on dark chocolate cake is delicious.
