I loved it. I was looking for a frosting recipe without anything perishable in it, like milk, and this worked on yellow cupcakes beautifully. I sifted the powdered sugar and it took more than the listed amount, but I just went with it til it was the right consistency. I doubled the recipe for 24 heavily-frosted cupcakes and added 1 square of unsweetened baking chocolate as the other reviewer suggested. De-lish! -
I picked this frosting because I didn't have any milk or cream in the house and needed to make chocolate frosting. It was easy to make and OK, but wasn't amazed by it. I frosted 12 cupcakes pretty heavily with a single patch. For half the cupcakes I added Starbucks Via instant coffee and that made the frosting great. -
What a great (and quick) recipe! I omitted the boiling water and only used 1 cup of powdered sugar with nearly 2 tablespoons of cocoa. It was nice and think and covered our 8 inch round banana cake perfectly. Will definitely use again. -
great frosting depending on what u are using it for, nice fluffy n rich!! -
So easy to make and tasty too. I used butter instead of margarine, personal preference, and made my own powdered sugar using the following formula: POWDERED SUGAR Substitution: 1 cup sugar + 1 tbsp cornstarch = 1 cup powdered sugar. Delicious on top of chocolate cupcakes made using a cake mix.
