I totally changed the recipe to make it a little more Christmas. I used spice cake instead of chocolate and used vanilla pudding mix. I also decreased the cool whip to 1 cup and added about 1 cup of canned pumpkin. It made a bit of extra icing but I just put the extra on and in the cake, it was good, not-too-sweet icing and the pumpkin and cream cheese complimented the spice cake. I will defiantly make this again, I had so many complements and my family still talks about it 2 years later. Thanks for the inspiration. Donna

I was very happy with how this turned out after I made it. The taste is great, but it takes a bit to make but very impressive once it's done.

Frosting was excellent... very creamy and not too sweet... it was also a nice consistency to work with. The cake was okay... very moist but nothing special. I'll certainly make the frosting again but likely not the cake.

very good. the icing was perfect! i liked how it wasn't too sweet. it has a cheesecake taste to it, hence the cream cheese. i used this recipe to make a birthday cake instead and it turned out great.
