Be prepared to clean up some drips. If there are kids around, let them clean up the drips - this frosting is like fudge! The frosting is so good - it's almost like the cake exists just to give a base to the frosting. Mom cuts the frosting recipe down (about in half) but I like it just the way it is - lots.
