"Mom always cooked each of us our favorite cake on our birthday. My little brother's favorite was 4 layer yellow cake with this cooked fudge icing. The only icing I can cook that turns out right every time. My brother liked it so it was slightly hard when done. I love it that way too. I have used this on Boston Cream Pie as well."

The trick with this is to cook it long enough. If it is too thin you may beat it some powdered sugar, till it is right for spreading. Best when put on hot cake. This is almost like having fudge for frostiing,
