Great consistency, but I found this frosting too sweet with too little flavour. I increased the coffee and cocoa to about 3 tablespoons each to increase the mocha flavour.

I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. Delicious. I loved how light and fluffy the frosting was, easy to spread with just a light chocolate flavoring, and plenty of heavenly coffee. I did add a bit extra espresso, and instead of mixing the ingredients all together I whipped up the butter, added the cocoa and coffee, and lastly added the sugar until it was perfect for me. Almost too good to be true, it's so simple. Thank you very much for sharing.

This frosting came out so great that is tasted and looked like it was bought right from the bakery. I made two 9" x 13" cakes and spread the frosting in between. Double the amount of frosting if doing so. EXCELLENT!

Wow, this icing was so good! I took the advice of others and only used 1 cup of sugar and added 2 tbs of coffee. I brewed 1 cup of water and added 2 tbs of coffee grinds in the coffeemaker, which I think made the coffee strong enough for the recipe... a lot of flavor!

I have a feeling this would be an excellent compliment to any cake. I used this as the frosting on a spice cake.I used a little more coffee in it because we love coffee anything. Next time I will use more than the suggested 2 cups of confectioners since I felt the cake taste dominated the frosting and I make cakes for the dessert appeal, sweetness. The consistancy can be changed by just popping it in the frig. Anyone can make this suit their taste. Double it you'll be glad you did.

Oooo, this recipe was delightful! I frosted some plain yellow cupcakes and all my friends LOVED it! My only suggestion is to put a little less sugar than suggested. I was a little skeptical about putting in 1 1/2 cups of sugar in, so I just put in 1 cup and that was just right. Any more sugar and my teeth would've fallen off. :) And like a lot of reviewers have mentioned, adding a little bit more coffee gives it a better flavor. I put in about 2 or so tablespoons. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the awesome receipe!

This was the first time I ever made my own frosting, and I loved it! I increased the sugar by about a cup, because I needed more frosting, and also added about 3 more Tbsp. coffee and a dash of vanilla. I used it on yellow cake, and sprinkled pecans on top. It was a hit!

This is a delicious mocha icing. I used it on Black Magic Cake and it was wonderful. However, it does not make very much and my 9x13" cake had what I considered to be too thin a layer of icing. I can't imagine trying to ice a layer cake with just this amount. Next time I will double it.
