Actually, cups of frosting is a volume measure -- not a weight measure. Sometimes the weight thing works for volume and sometimes it doesn't. For instance, a cup of flour generally weighs about 5 ounces (not 8, which is the 1/2 pound).

2 cups of frosting per pound seems off somehow. A good way to check it would be to check the baking aisle at the grocery store the next time you wander through. Pick up a tub of ready-made frosting and check the serving size.

I don't happen to have a tub of ready made frosting handy, or I'd give out that measure.

It also might vary based on the kind of frosting. Whipped frostings will take up more volume per ounce than dense frostings like cream cheese.
