Diabetic Frostings

Quite often I have students ask for diabetic frosting recipes.  So I asked my fab cake friends and collected these recipes...

DIABETIC BUTTER CREAM FROSTING
2 1/2 tbsp. flour
1/2 c. butter
10 (1 gram) packets Equal (sugar substitute)
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Combine water, dry milk and flour, and stir until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thick and smooth. Or cook in microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Place container in cold water and stir until cool. Set aside. Cream butter and Equal until light and fluffy. Add cooled sauce, 1 tablespoon at a time, while beating at medium speed. Add vanilla and beat at high until light and fluffy. Refrigerate unused portion. Return to room temperature.

DIABETIC CHOCOLATE FROSTING
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate
6 tbsp. evaporated milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. liquid sweetener
Melt chocolate over water. Stir in milk, mix and cook until thick. Remove from heat and add vanilla and sweetener. Add a little water if it's too thick.

are you able to decorate as easily with these as you would regular buttercream? I've used IMBC and Fluffy Icing, but they don't have the same texture.
