This stuff is great, a perfect topper for a chocolate bundt cake! As another reviewer mentioned, an extra tablespoon of butter made it even better. But the best thing about this is that no cooking is required! (Because it's not cooked, by the way, real vanilla extract is better than imitation in this recipe--not so chemical-tasting.) For those of you who found it a bit stiff, it may be that the butter wasn't quite soft enough. A few seconds on low in the microwave should fix that. Read More

This gave me a good start. I used only 1 cup of confectioners sugar, and I mixed over low heat until smooth. I didn't bother with the vanilla, or with the sifting. (Varitions try adding a little Kahlua instead of milk). Read More

Perfect topping for a bundt cake. Easy and quick. The only change I made was to melt the butter - I tend to forget to take it out of the fridge in time to wait for it to soften. Will use this frequently. Read More

Pretty tasty but I had to add WAY more milk for it to be drizzle-able! The said recipe made it a thick frosting...I had to look over the recipe a few times to make sure I was doing it right but I was. So my advice is MORE MILK! Read More

This was a very easy and tasty recipe. It was the only recipe I found that contained ingredients I already had in the house. I whipped it together in 5 minutes and it came out great! Thanks! Read More

This glaze is really surprisingly good! I hate conf.sugar icing for the most part..b/c they all taste like wet, flavored conf.sugar..yuck. But found myself in a pinch and needed a topping for a choc bunt cake. I used 3 lg. T of cocoa pwd. and 2 T. butter and a little more than 4 T. milk (just to the consistency you want) and 1/2 t. van. And if this glaze didn't taste just like melted milk chocolate! ...and a plus: it looks great on a dark cake. Thanks for this recipe. Read More
