    WOW... this was everything i could ask for in an icing and more. Normally i really dont like frosting (gritty, tastes like icing sugar, runny, etc.), but i ate almost half of this before i iced my cupcakes! It was rich, creamy, fudgey.... mmmm... thank you so much for what will be my only chocolate frosting recipe!

    Made Quick Yellow Cake Quick Yellow Cake by MizzNezz and used this icing. This is a great frosting recipe, not sweet at all and very creamy. Instead of adding all the confectioners' sugar and cocoa all at once, making it difficult to incorporate, I alternately added these ingredients with the milk. Worked out much better. Thanks for posting, Sue.
