MOM'S COOKED FUDGE FROSTING



Mom's Cooked Fudge Frosting image

Mom always cooked each of us our favorite cake on our birthday. My little brother's favorite was 4 layer yellow cake with this cooked fudge icing. The only icing I can cook that turns out right every time. My brother liked it so it was slightly hard when done. I love it that way too. I have used this on Boston Cream Pie as well.
