About Frostings, glaze, prepared-from-recipe
Icing, known as frosting across the United States, is the sweet coating that finishes cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, adding both flavor and a smooth or decorative surface. At its simplest it is just powdered sugar whisked with a splash of liquid into a glaze that dries to a shine, while richer versions cream butter or shortening with sugar for a soft, pipeable frosting. Buttercream, cream cheese frosting, royal icing, ganache, and fondant each bring a different texture and purpose, from swirled cupcake tops to the crisp, glossy lines on decorated sugar cookies.
Icing is high in sugar and calories, meant as an indulgent accent rather than nourishment. Bakers tint it with color, flavor it with vanilla, citrus, or cocoa, and pipe it through tips to form rosettes, borders, and lettering. Royal icing sets rock-hard, which makes it ideal for gluing together gingerbread houses. Cakes frosted with buttercream keep best under a cover in a cool spot, and anything made with cream cheese should be refrigerated.
