Dear Linebb956,

your icing sucked!!!! i was desperately looking for a really good icing recipe, also known as the best ever icing, and i stumbeled upon yours. yeah well your title is a lie! it was totally graody. it waasreally watery and sticky and looked like cum!!! who wants to eat cum on top of there sprinkle cake? and for you zena824, idk what you made but it sure as hell was not this recipe. i have made many cakes with icing on them in my life time and i must admit you win the prize.. of worst! and bob, yeah you right. confectioners sugar would have made the whole thing a crap load better. and for the pudding stage, who refers things to pudding? it was clearly yogurt like!! i guess when the peoeple in the 70s were eatting this subtance, they must have been high off of the green brownies.

happy cooking!

I made your icing last week - sorry it took so long to get here with my comments! I almost always make buttercream frosting, so this was a delicious and different alternative! It is sweet, but not intensely sweet like buttercream. The texture with the slight crunch of the sugar was interesting. I found your directions easy to follow. Having made pudding from scratch, as I expect many members have, I didn't find anything unusual about the direction to cook to pudding stage. It was very descriptive of the consistency you wanted! When cooked to this stage it was anything but watery and sticky. I'm not the world's greatest photographer, but I'm posting the picture I took showing how pretty it turned out. Great recipe! Thanks for posting!

This was the recipe my grandmother used to make filling for homemade chocalate cupcakes. The sugar she used was 1-1/2 cups of confectioners, though.
