My rating is based solely on the frosting, which was not the correct proportions. I mixed the espresso with 1 can of frosting and all I could taste was the cream cheese frosting. The frosting was super thin, and had no coffee taste. I made more espresso, and added that to the runny mixture, and added more powdered sugar to try and get a stronger coffee flavor with more of a frosting consistency. Eventually I got a stronger coffee flavor, but the consistency was still runny.
