Although my frosting did not set, I believe it was chef error, not the recipe. I used more milk than called for and definitely did not over-beat it. I did not mind though, as I got to lick up all the frosting that spilled over the sides of the plate!

Very, very tasty! I used it on a 9"x13" pineapple cake and it was just the right amount of topping. It set up firmly and is the perfect texture, not too sticky-gooey to cut but not grainy either. Very simple to make also!

This was delicious - just what I was looking for to top off a not-too0sweet spice cake. Thanks so much!

Excellent! I used it to top a plain boxed cake mix. I served lite vanilla ice cream. My desert was a real hit

I used this recipe (minus the nuts) to drizzle onto some "Banana Banana Bread" for dessert tonight and it was a big hit. Rather than allowing this recipe to thicken for frosting the banana bread, I stirred the ingredients in while still hot and liquidy. I also added some Banana liqueur in addition to vanilla, in same quantity as vanilla, to help the flavor go with the bread. Topped with whipped cream, it was a delicious dessert.

I use this as a glaze on an apple bundt cake -- it's perfect. Sweet, but not too sweet. I'd imagine it'd be great on any spiced tea cake. It does crack a little when you cut the cake -- use a sharp, large knife, if help to reduce the damage to its appearance.

I used this over a butter pecan cake mix for a quick dessert and it was great. I followed the directions exactly and despite all of the steps, it's quite easy and well worth it.
