Seriously? I'm a big baker. Been doing it professionally for years. Decided to try out a new recipe, and this one was horrible. It tasted ok, but super grainy, and way tooo sweet.

This is what my mom used to make when I was a kid, she made everything homemade. I used butter instead also and it was creamy and wonderful...thx so much for bringing back those memories!

This is sooooo good! I used about 1/4 cup less powdered sugar than the recipe calls for, and I had to add more milk for a creamy consistency. This tastes incredible with the Chocolate Mayo Cake submitted by Virginia Godd. It also looks very pretty. It's WAY better than store-bought frosting.

Very good fudgy frosting. Based on suggestions from other reviewers I used 3 cups powdered sugar and a bit extra cocoa powder and a dash of salt. Put in extra milk until it was the proper consistency for spreading.

I made this on a whim one night and it turned out great. Super simple and tasted just like the frosting that you'd buy from the store.

I'm so glad i cut down on the sugar. Even without the full written amount, it was really sweet. However, it was an incredible frosting to go with the cake I made, and very easy to spread!

Not great. I tried this with all the suggested modifications and still had to punt. The mixture seized after I added the milk, so I had to re-warm it over a double-boiler before I could blend in the sugar. Then, after sitting covered at room temperature for about an hour, it was too stiff to pipe through a large star tip. Fortunately, I was being lazy and had used a zip-top bag instead of a pastry bag, so I was able to add milk and knead it until it was loose enough to pipe. But then it was too much like ganache to hold any shape and just sort of oozed all over the tops of the cupcakes. It does taste good, but I won't bother with it again.
