This frosting is made from brown sugar, evaporated milk, and miniature marshmallows. You can dust the frosting with coconut. This is from the archives of my grandmother, Ethel Eynard. Jefferson City, MO. 1971.

I agree with Stephanie that you need to be careful about frosting before you freeze. It is much easier to frost when the cake has been defrosted back to room temp. I would do that. Otherwise you would need to worry about more than the frosting – you would need to worry about how the cake will hold up underneath it during defrosting

Can the cake be frozen with the frosting? Does it get watery after freezing?

I would not advise frosting a cake and then freezing it. You can freeze most cakes just fine, but frost them before serving.
