I used this frosting with the One Bowl Chocolate cake from this site. Yum! I whipped it with a whisk.

Loved the consistency of this frosting. Many of the frostings I've tried have been too gooey, and I really prefer a more "stiff" buttercream that can hold its own on top of a cupcake or brownies. Definitely suggest this for bakery quality chocolate frosting!

Pretty good, but I've found better on this site. It was a little too sugary and not chocolatey enough for me.

This is a nice creamy frosting but I find it to sugary. Next time I will cut the sugar by a 1/2 cup. I did what another person said and added 2 unsweetned chocolate squares and 1 tsp of milk. Also if you let it stand the flavor improves.

The texture was a little too sugary for me, so I added 1/4 cup sour cream and some extra milk, which made it better but a little thinner. I also added a few spoonfulls of Nutella and topped a banana cake with the frosting. Nice results! You just have to tweak the frosting to your taste.

This has a good flavor and is not overly sweet; however it was not quite the consistency I needed. For me there is too much butter and not enough sugar for it to be as creamy as I prefer.

I followed the recipe as stated and ended up with a great consistency... but it also turned out extremely sugary. However, I thinned it out using milk and then iced my cake and put it in the refrigerator. The coldness allows the icing to thicken up just enough and the cold temperature actually cancels out the shock factor of how sweet it is. I used this on the "One Bowl Chocolate Cake III" and it suited each other wonderfully! I highly recommend!

This icing went great with sugar cookies, I left out the cocoa powder and added an extra tsp. of vanilla. Also about 2 tablespoons more milk to get the right consistency.

this is a great standby frosting. so much better then the super proccessed store bought kind, and easy to alter for certain items. I added whipped cream and folded it in to make it a little lighter and used for a cake. it was a hit!

I whipped this frosting together in a flash, and spread it on top of homemade brownies.....YUMMY. It is very rich, without being overly sweet. I will never again use store bought frosting!
