easy to make - didn't have any cocunut flavoring so I just used about 2 cups of coconut (did not do any toasted). Very tasty. And oddly not too sweet.

This recipe is amazing. The frosting adds just the right amount of sweetness to a carrot cake. I did not add coconut flavoring, but the shredded and toasted coconut gave it enough of a kick. This recipe made enough for me to frost a layer cake, with about a cup left over.

I used this recipe and the suggestion of the apricot layer to frost a white layer sheet cake for my Son's 4th birthday. It was a huge hit with both the kids and the adults. It was easy and appealing to the kids, while still being something sophisticated and different from the normal kid's party fare for the adults. The coconut frosting was the perfect backdrop to the bundt train cake I put on top to boot. The only downside is that the apricot layer made the drive to the party location a rather tricky process. Looking back, some advance planning including a completely cooled cake and some well placed toothpicks were in order!

A tasty frosting that has just the right amount of sweetness. Next time, I'd leave out the salt. The optional toasted coconut on top makes an ordinary recipe look special.

This was great, but I halved the amount of powdered sugar. I also didn't need any cream to have the correct consistency with the absence of the sugar. I like being able to taste the cream cheese, and since I added all of the optional sweetened coconut, it was plenty sweet. I used this inside of a lemon sponge cake to make a jelly roll, and it was delicious.

went over very well with my family. I do not like very sweet frostings, so this one was perfect! Left out the coconut and used on a spice cake. Delicious!

Yummy on a snowman-shaped coconut cake! I didn't add all of the coconut since it would have been overkill on the same flavor of cake. I had trouble saving the frosting for decorating...I could have eaten the whole bowl! SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

i made this without all the coconut stuff as a cream cheese frosting for a red velvet cake. i did not like the consistency [i ended up using 4.5 cups of sugar but i stopped there because i felt i was losing too much of the cheese taste]; i would give that a 2. but the flavor is excellent, i would give that a 5. overall a good recipe.

This is an excellent recipe...everyone loved this cake and frosting...The only thing I changed was to put the coconut only on top of the frosting untoasted. I used milk instead of cream and no salt. I also spread the frosting on the center of the cake and spread a thin layer of my homemade strawberry jam on top of the frosting.

So very delicious! Followed the recipe almost exactly - added extra powdered sugar to get to a buttercream-like consistency for a round cake. Used a white cake and sprinkled the middle and top with shredded coconut and chocolate flakes. Huge hit!

AMAZING RECIPE! Since I didn't have any coconut flavoring, I used some extra shredded coconut. Absolutely delicious! I use this on many cakes - carrot, white, yellow, coconut cake, coconut pound cake - everybody loves it! If you are looking for an all around good frosting that can be used on many cakes, this is the one! It is FABULOUS! You must try it.

Awesome. The only thing I would change is when I added the 1/2 cup of coconut to the frosting it didn't seem like enough (but then again I really love coconut)so I put in 2 whole cups of it. I kept everything else the same, and it was enough to put a nice thick layer on a 9x13 chocolate cake & still had a few spoonfuls left so I could lick the bowl :) I would use this frosting on any cake!
