Hi Guys,

Can the chocolate syrup frosting be smoothed out like the buttercream frosting can?

I'm giving you a bump. I'd like to know too since I'm doing it for the first time this weekend!

I had no problem smoothing it out like buttercream. I add just a little extra milk and it worked perfect. HTH

same here-no problems.

I made this frosting yesterday for the first time. I loved it. No problems smoothing it and it tastes great. I don't really care for the taste of chocolate buttercream. I'll be making this frosting alot.

I've never had any problems smoothing either!

Does someone had the link for the recipe? Thanks! I'd love to try this!

Here it is...

I can't wait to try it because I usually don't like regular chocolate buttercream. Hopefully I'll like this one better.

Thanks!!!

Keep in mind that this frosting doesn't crust over like the regular buttercream. I absolutely love the flavor of this frosting!

Does this crust??? I just made chocolate buttercream last night for the first time- probably won't be making it again...not a fan!

No, it doesn't crust. If I'm having problems smootihng, I juts pop in in the fridge for a while, and usually have no problems smoothing after I take it out.

And this has to be refrigerated, right?

jen1977 alerted me to this recipe a week or so ago and I made it for the first time last week! It's delicious!

I've never kept mine in the fridge.

Well, Mine does crust!!! I use the one from the cake mix doctor, and after several hours it crusts. HtH
