Icing can be too rich. Cake will never be too rich.

Nope, it's frosting.

Honestly I always thought they were two different things

Frosting is the thicker spread on the top of the cake

Icing is thin and you use it to write letters and stuff on the cake

Well, anyways, the best thing to do is to get a fairly balanced portion of both cake and frosting

That said cake is usually dry (to me) so you need more frosting to counterbalance it; alternatively you need a heck of a lot of ice cream or milk

I never in all my born days thought I'd say this, but Sarah is right.

I have a huge gripe with people who slather on frosting too thick. If it's to hide the fact tha the cake is dry then you made a shit cake. I adore red velvet cake but some places just put on way too much frosting that it hurts my teeth and I then hate the cake and my day is basically ruined.

If the cake is good: the cake.
If the cake is dry: the icing (or frosting, or whatever. I would call it icing).

Yeah, I probably prefer the cake to the glazing.

It would have to be a properly dry mother-smurfer for me to pick glazing over cake.

I don't know and I don't see why I should have to choose between the two anyway :colbert:

Icing can be too rich. Cake will never be too rich.

True, they should start taxing the icing a little more so the rest of the cake can have an actual chance in this world.

Pretty much.

Though I will say if one part of the cake HAD to be good and the other bad, the cake has to be better. I mean, it does form the majority of the cake. But a good icing can save an otherwise a rather dry cake.

Frosting is what you put on a cake. It doesn't dry out and retains the same consistency with age.
Icing is what you put on a cookie. It dries and creates almost a glaze.

I don't know and I don't see why I should have to choose between the two anyway :colbert:
This is correct... because you can't separate cake and frosting. It's like Penn and Teller, Romeo and Juliet, peanut butter and jelly... one isn't the same without the other. The frosting brings out the best parts of the cake and vice versa. They should never be parted or pit against one another for the sake of sport, Samantha, and frankly I am saddened you would do such a thing.

But why would you put shorts on a cake?

Noo! I'm so shocked by the results of this!! Don't get me wrong, ideally I would have both. But icing/frosting is amazing!! I could probably eat a whole bowl of just icing. Buttercream-especially chocolate- is just the best thing ever! Mmm!!!
