  1. This is the best frosting. Very easy to make. It is exactly like the frosting used at a local bakery. This is going to be my "go to" frosting for anything chocolate.
     
  2. Yum!! This is easy, foolproof, and great. I added a few drops of cherry extract, and melted the butter instead of softening (accidentally) and it worked out great! I will try my special dark cocoa powder next time, and I bet it will be even better! Thanks!
     
  3. I made just as said, but this did not work for me. It turned out more like a milk chocolate buttercream than a dark fudgy frosting like in the picture. I also did not need to wait 20 min as it was too stiff to spread from the start, so I added more boiling water. I used it because I didn't want to waste, but it really wasn't the kind of frosting (fudge) that I was looking for at all.
     
  4. This icing worked out very badly for me....it solidified straight away and was WAYYYYYY too sweet..im sorry
     
  5. I made this for #84750 and it worked extremely well. It is perfect for a tropical climate as the extra cornflour stops the icing from falling off within 5 minutes of taking it out of the fridge. It is very easy to make and even tastes good.
