This was very good. I made a half batch and it worked out great to put just a thin layer of frosting on a pan of brownies I made. I plan on using it again this weekend. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

Bummer. I put this on my birthday cake, but didn't care for the taste or texture. It is similar to the type that comes on inexpensive cakes from the supermarket, if you are keen on that type. I guess I like a creamy, not fluffy texture.

I LOVE this recipe. Quick, easy and tastes much better than storebought.
