Chocolate Syrup Frosting Question...
Decorating By sweetlybaked Updated 31 Oct 2006 , 5:01pm by TiffTurtle
Anyone use this? I need a crusting chocolate frosting that is REALLY good and I hear this one is DELICIOUS!
One more try? Is this even making it up there??
I have used the chocolate syrup frosting twice and it didn't crust enough to use the Viva method to smooth it. It tastes wonderful, though. If you need a crusting chocolate icing, I would just use a crusting chocolate buttercream.
can someone share the recipe for this? i have been looking for a really chocolaty icing ..is this like that?
I use it and it does not crust; however, if you add more powder sugar (add a little at a time to you get it thicker) you can smooth it pretty good with a hot, wet icing spatula. See my cake with pink dots and stripes w/ candle coming out of the top. It held up really well even while I delivered it.
I have used this iicing though when it was humid out side and you could actually see on the side of the cake where the icing was starting to shift or slide down!! (Not good!!) 
I was going to make a chocolate cake using this icing and then use pourable chocolate icing on top! Sounds yummmy and would also give a smooth, fondant - like finish............... I think.

The Chocolate Decorator's Buttercream is delicious, and whoever submitted the recipe said they used the VIVA method. (I didn't try it.) I thought the choc syrup frosting was too soft, so used this one for a basketweave and it was great. Here's the link to the recipe:

when i made chocolate syrup frosting, it crusted just enough to Viva lightly, but i had to put it in the fridge first.
