I tried using the search function for the site, and when I typed in Chocolate Icing, I got all kind of results that doesn't have anything to do with Chocolate.

I'm just wanting a good Chocolate Icing for piping and maybe a Standard piping recipe (one that can be colored) as well.

Can anyone link one with good reviews that works?

I'm a 31 year old Dad trying to get into making cakes for my newly born daughter and I came here because a google search could easily land me on what I want, but there usually isn't 300 people with positive ratings either.

My last attempt at making a recipe for black fondant cost me around 6 bucks with no result but chocolate fondant with black piping gel somewhere in it.
