I used this frosting for DD's cupcakes for her birthday. Very good basic frosting. It was light and fluffy. We really liked it, thank you for sharing.

Good icing, just don't use salted butter or it will be super salty. I didn't have any unsalted, so I figured I'd leave out the extra salt, but it is still very salty. I am still using it since it was a ton of ingredients. Hopefully the cake will balance it out. Besides the salt, it's a tasty icing, but I don't think I would make it again- a lot of work and ingredients for icing!

Absolutely incredible!!! Mean Chef suggested this recipe when I was looking for something to fill little pre-made chocolate cups for a dessert tray. I made this according to the directions, with the exception of the espresso power for which I had to substitute instant coffee. The texture is beautiful. It spreads very well and, for my use, held its shape well when piped into cups with a pastry bag. The chocolate remained super-shiney as well. I sprinkled a few gold flakes on top and they were beautiful. This is the only chocolate frosting/filling I will ever make. Thanks!

This is the best chocolate frosting I've ever used. At first I thought, nah, I don't want to use all those ingredients, and then thought about taking this short cut or that short cut. However, I was a good little bunny and did what I was told. Oh, wow. Beautiful texture and it freezes and thaws excellently. Brilliant one, MC.
