This icing is good on any cake, but it is to die for on chocolate! The reason it is called "Mrs. Echard" icing is that it is a Must at every dinner at my mom's church, and it's made by a Wonderful lady there named Virginia Echard.

This icing is awesome! I used it on a devils chocolate cake. Everyone LOVED it. I had problems using it to decorating the cake though. I was using a pastry bag with a star tip.

    This is a WONDERFUL recipe except I use just regular sugar to make it instead of powdered. It gives it a little texture. That is the way that my granny-whom I first got this recipe from- makes it. I always buy a box of devils chocolate cake mix and I make it a double layer cake and use this icing. Its just to die for.

    This is soooo easy to make. I used a 1 ltr tub of reduced fat coolwhip and i used 1/2 the sugar, as i don't like my icing very sweet. It turned out delicious. After icing my cake i added cocoa powder, and a little nestle Quick to the remainder to write "Happy BDay" on the cake! Worked wonderfuly!

    This icing was so wonderfully nice and fluffy and not too rich. I do not care for really sugary icing so this one was great! I used it on a banana cake. Thank you so much. I will use this recipe again.
