    Big Smile [:D] 'Beat & Eat' Frosting

    Reply Contact

    I started baking cake mixes when I was about 10 or so; the late 50's, early 60's. One of the easiest frostings I made was from the back of a coconut can. Can not remember the brand name of the Coconut but the frosting was called 'Beat & Eat' (or 'Beat and Eat'). It was not a cooked frosting, & more than likely used powdered sugar. But I cannot remember any other ingredients. It was pure white, very fluffy and delicious. Hope someone remembers this easy recipe. We lived in the Cincinnati area, perhaps the recipe was only available in that area, don't know. Would really like to be able to make this again. Thanks for all your help!!! Love these forums; we can learn so much and 'that's a good thing'. MANY HAPPY COOKING-DAYS TO ALL OF YOU!!!
