Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Nice & creamy Only 3 pts on weight watchers Maybe a little too sweet for some

The frosting had a grainy texture and a strong alcohol flavor. I thought it just needed to be mixed up, but no this frosting was just not good.

Just tried it and I will never eat it, it tastes bad and nothing like vanilla buttercream. I'm shocked you chose that as a final flavor. I'll throw it out and waste $13. Remake this so you don't go out of business, hope the gluten-free keto cake mixes aren't as bad. ——Update, 1/20/26—-this company reached out to me after my review and offered me a refund so 3 stars for that. Thanks for being cool :). I’ve never had frostings with a grain texture, I think if you blended it smooth and changed the ingredients it would taste better. I only want occasional desserts with the integrity of healthier ingredients that include a lot less sugar. This company has a products that are a much healthier option.

This frosting has little in common with cream cheese but has a pleasant vanilla taste. I used it for a birthday cake and it was a huge hit. Since this frosting is largely coconut oil based, the colder it is the more solid it will be. I tried to put it on a still warm cake I baked and it mostly melted. It stayed put and looked better after the cake and frosting were refrigerated for a while. As long as the cake isn't warm, this frosting seems to stay put for quite a while. The keto cake I made with King Arthur's keto cake mix was a hit. My only complaint is that you don't get a lot of frosting in each container. It came with enough frosting for a small cake, with maybe left for half a cake if I'm lucky. One day I'll figure out what to do with the rest. For keto cake frosting, this is a great (if costly) product and absolutely worth a try.

I have Been looking for a low carb/no sugar alternative to enhance my protein cakes. Was really excited about this, but once it came and we all tried it, it has a strong chemical-like taste. I’d say go back to the drawing board and really revisit what you’ve made here. My goodness!

Ok! I bought this because I was recently diagnosed prediabetic and birthdays, holidays, and just dessert in general has become such a depressing prospect. So I was so excited to hear about a keto frosting that might give me hope of at least a birthday cake. (I didn't even get one for my 40th birthday and it broke my heart.) That being said, the review complaints are fairly legitimate. I'll explain in detail. 1. The texture is absolutely grainy. But it's the same grainy texture you'd get from dry buttercream. Ever eat your leftover birthday cake three days later? It's like that where the buttercream sugar is re-crystalizing. 2. It's definitely fatty and oily. It's more slippery and oily feeling on the tongue opposed to buttercream's usual waxy fattiness. It has the feeling of being made with coconut oil. (Is that even a surprise? It's made with palm and coconut oil.) 3. Because it's made with oil I have no doubt that it will 100% separate if you keep it in a hot place. Those who got theirs delivered in summer and it might have sat in an amazon package on the front porch for hours.... yeah, it probably was melted and separated. Mine arrived in winter on a day we're supposed to have freezing weather tonight and I was able to scoop it up immediately. The texture was perfect and fluffy. 4. It's very fattening. Yes, that's true. It might even be worse than real buttercream icing because of the palm oil. But, if you're coming to complain about how fattening frosting is then I think you're probably in the wrong place for your diet. This is literal cake icing. If you want a fat free icing, you might wanna go with a powdered stevia sugar glaze. 5. The vanilla flavor IS pretty weak. I imagine that's remedied by either flavoring the cake mix a bit more vanilla, adding in vanilla bean seeds, or finding another flavor to put in. Because of the texture, which doesn't bother me at all, I hope to make a coconut cake out of the vanilla cake mix with the vanilla frosting. The fried coconut on the outside should absolutely hide the grainy texture and it'll be perfect. We also plan to make snowball cupcakes with it. And, honestly, I'll find other great uses for it. Inside a sandwich cookie... you probably couldn't notice the texture. Update: You definitely can’t tell when it’s on something and with an unsweet coconut topping.

I had bought the vanilla cake mix from Fitbake because the macros are fairly friendly for dieting and we were celebrating a birthday. It am also gluten free, so I could have some. Usually I just watch everyone else eat cake. Being excited to try this company, I chose to try the cake with the frosting marketed for it, leading me to this purchase (vanilla). This frosting is not better macros for general dieting, it actually has more calories per gram than regular frosting. It also has a sickly strong sugar alcohol taste. Imagine putting vanilla or almond extract directly on your tongue, that is the burn and flavor that is left in your mouth after trying this frosting. It never made it onto the cake. I ended up trying homemade protein frosting and just store bought traditional frosting and the cake was amazing. I highly recommend the cake mix, just not the frosting. So if you are keto, this frosting may or may not be for you. For the general fitness/wellness/dieting/gluten free individual, you are much better off using something… anything else.

I was shocked how great this tasted for being a better option than a traditional frosting. Everyone at work had a hard time believing it was sugar free. It was easy to work with and spread on the cake, leaving a smooth finish.
