    Anyone who says frosting should be turned into fertilizer.

    Frankly, I'd often rather skip the cake and just eat the damn icing.

    I have been known to do this

    The funfetti sprinkles are damn great but I don't think they can top smurfing icing/frosting. I mean. How the smurf can you beat icifrostiglacing.

    They are DIFFERENT. And those of you who have had homemade versions of them would KNOW THAT. JERKS.

    Frosting is more common. It is mounded and spread on cakes. It's thick and stiff (that's what she said) and it stays in place. It maintains consistency and forms well.

    Icing is less common (except on cookies.) It starts runny and ends kind of crisp and glossy. You can't spread it because it just goes everywhere.

    A good example. You use frosting for layer cakes. You use icing for sticky buns and bundt cakes.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    foa is correct. Icing is for cinnamon rolls. Frosting is for cakes, cupcakes, brownies, sugar cookies and everything else that requires a frost.

    I was originally confused by the poll, because what are we debating about? Foa thus confirmed my suspicion about TB trying to fool us. They are two separate things.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    They are DIFFERENT.
    They can be used interchangeably. You know, like people do all of the time. Even the dictionary agrees: Icing | Define Icing at Dictionary.com
