MOM'S COOKED FUDGE FROSTING
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.

MOM MOMS BUTTERSCOTCH ICING
My Grandmother(Mom Mom) made this icing and put it on everything from chocolate cake to cookies. I love it and can eat it just by the spoonful, be careful when making it as it can easliy become too stiff. I really don't mind if it does because then I would just put it in a pan and cut it like fudge.
