Which is the best part?
the cake duh
Icing can be too rich. Cake will never be too rich.
Icing or GTFO
cake part. Icing is good but too much can be blegh
Am I the only person who calls it frosting? :ohdear:
Nope, it's frosting.Quote:

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.

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

Both.
Frosting is what you put on a cake. It doesn't dry out and retains the same consistency with age.Quote:

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.Quote:
