This frosting was *very* strong for me, and completely overwhelmed the spice cake I drizzled it over, but if you like spicy, this is the frosting for you.

Really good, but I had no milk, so I used heavy cream and I added more than the recipe called for, only because it was drying out too quickly. The taste was great, though!

YUM! this frosting has a kick like red-hots. I used this on the "Soft gingerbread cookies" and it was the perfect combo. (yes there is a non-teeth-breaking recipe for gingerbread cookies).

good recipe. i made it exact way it was wrote then later played with the spices to my liking. as is, good, but needed something. i ended up with, for spices, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice.

AMAZING! I added the 1 TBSP of Butter (creamed) and it turned out to be the perfect spreading consistency for Gingerbread... not cookies...Gingerbread cake. When I took a bite of the gingerbread cake with this frosting it was like a spice explosion in my mouth! My husband said "You ARE making more of these for Christmas!" This icing would also be excellent on sugar cookies.

Fantastic! I replaced all seasonings with 1 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning- yum! The color comes out brown, but nothing a little food coloring can't cure... :-)

I made this to frost the "big soft ginger cookies" from this sight and they worked so beautifully together! The spices in the frosting and the cookies worked so well together and made the cookie even more special! Needless to say i got rave reviews about this frosting! Thank you so much.

This is incredible icing! I wanted to use the Big Soft Ginger Cookies for a fall sandwich cookie and needed a complimentary icing. This was the one. I added a tbsp. of butter and a little vanilla and doubled the recipe. This was the best icing. I could see how this would be good on a pumpkin or sugar cookie, too. It sets up well, too.

The flavor is excellent and the frosting sets fairly quickly, though I had a hard time getting it as thick as I would like. It really picked up some bland anise cookies!

This was a new concept for me - didn't think to add spices to the frosting. As far as taste; it's ok, but did get real runny after one day. Probably wouldn't make again unless we weren't planning on any leftovers.

This frosting was excellent on my Gingerbread cut-out cookies, I thought the taste would be too strong, but the spices blend very well together so it tastes just right. I am sure this would be good with all kinds of sweets!

Great recipe! Was a great addition to our Gingerbread Men cookie recipe. Added a little more powdered sugar to make it a little thicker so it would stay on the cookies, but other than that, followed the recipe exactly. Turned out brown, but looked great on the gingerbread cookies with candies and sprinkles on top! Merry Christmas!

I thought this was wonderful!!! I used it to ice the "big soft ginger cookies" from this site. The only changes I made were to increase it to ice 48 cookies and I added a dash of mexican vanilla. The taste is delicious and the texture is perfect. It set within minutes so that I could pack them away before they were devoured!
