This is a fairly standard cooked frosting recipe, but I don't see the step where the sugar is cooked to make it caramel. It would probably taste all right as presented, but it's not caramel.

Hi, I am Matlock,
Call your local grocer and ask if they carry Argo corn starch. I use this for making gravy also.
