      Hi aarthi
      Will this frosting hold shape while pipping.
      Pls suggest a frosting which is good for piping swirls.

      I have made this Fudgy frosting Twice now, and we love it! Very hard to mess this up. It’s like having a good piece of cake with a piece of peanut butter fudge so good. Thank you for this great recipe.

      I would love to try this recipe on my next chocolate sheet cake, but I'm not sure I want to use it if it's "orangy." Orange and peanut butter doesn't sound appealing to me. I didn't see anything in the ingredients that would add an orange flavor. Did I miss something?
