This lovely, thick and rich frosting is great to work with, crusts well and has been a favourite of all my friends and those who have asked for cakes to be made. This is what I frosted the 3 tier chocolate cake with pink roses (I added some brown food colouring to darken the brown of the frosting on that cake)
For a vegan frosting use a vegan marg and water can be used in place of the milk with little change in flavour.
All measurements are US cup sizes.
