I love flour frosting on red cake and on white cake with lemon filling but this version is wonderfulwith a "Autumn flavored" cake!<br /><br />I may even try working on combining this with parts of your Fresh Strawberry Frosting as I think the light, fluffiness would be wonderful with strawberries.

Can't think why it would have been runny, requiring the addition of powdered sugar, unless you didn't cook the flour mixture quite long enough.
