I made the frosting last night. A little cocoa-y but good. The look turned out grainy but the taste is smooth. Today, the flavors have melded and the taste is delicious and oh so good. I have tried many receipes and wasted tons of ingredients and money trying to find perfect smooth, shiny and tasty chocolate frosting. Please tell me how to make the frosting as smooth looking as your pictures.

Just made the frosting. Taste was good. However the look was grainy, but the taste was smooth. Any help on how you get the frosty smooth and glossy like your pictures?

does this frosting dry like cookie icing or it is moist like the canned kind? I dare to make it cuz I will eat it all before I get it on the cake and I cant have a naked cake!!!!!!!

I’ve been using this recipe for about 30 years and it’s delicious. Learned it from my mama-in-law, Ora Lee (of course, I had to learn to make mama’s chocolate icing). Ora had a twist though, she used lemon flavoring instead of vanilla. I thought she was crazy, who uses lemon with chocolate? Absolutely delicious. I also have my twist. I cook the icing. It gives a creamy fudge like texture that my husband absolutely loves. Bountiful blessings to everyone (stole that from one of your readers cause I just love it).

I was raised on imitation vanilla and my mother was a great cook. She is 82 and still alive, but I say WAS, because she just doesn’t want to cook anymore. The occasional sweet, her favorite thing!!!

Hi Christy –

I’m baking a cake for a dear friend – his favorite is yellow with homemade chocolate frosting. He doesn’t mind box cake (I do though … LOL) but is particular about the frosting. I was going nuts trying to pick one and then … TA-DA – STOP THE MADNESS!!! Decided to look and see if you had one in the archives – sure enough, here it is!! Thanks again for “being there” –

I chose this recipe because it looks great in the pictures. It was easy to make and truly is the best frosting I’ve ever tasted!
