This frosting is terrible! It's too sweet, too runny, and it doesn't taste like chocolate at all.

This frosting is okay, but it's not my favorite. I prefer a frosting that's a little more fluffy and light.

I found this frosting to be a bit too runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to get it to the right consistency.

This frosting is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still good.
