Frosting! (previously Icing!)

Say you're ordering a birthday cake. Do you ask for whipped icing or buttercream?

This is a very important question.

I am one of the seemingly few people who actually likes whipped. :V

I EAT MY CAKE PLAIN

No, really, I do. I hate both. xD
 
Re: Icing!

Icing that has been whipped :V It has more of a whipped cream/Cool Whip-like consistency than buttercream.

Buttercream.

I dunno, whipped just... tastes weird. It's like, got some sort of bitter aftertaste to me. ><
But my mom loves it and seems to assume I do too. I hate it. ><

So yeah buttercream ftw.
 
Re: Icing!

THE CAKE IS A LIE

Uhhhhh....

There's different types of icing? And I still don't see the difference between icing and frosting.

Linoone is an idiot. >.<

I've always used them interchangeably, but I Googled it and apparently there's a huuuge difference and baker-types get all snooty about it. Seems that I should be calling this stuff frosting. Icing is thin drizzly-type stuff.

Meh. :|

I don't believe the terminology is used everywhere? When I buy cake here, the icing types available are elite and buttercream. Buttercream being just that, elite being... Actually, I was never sure, but I believe it's icing without cream in it. Has a funny texture, taste is bearable.

Buttercream tastes delicious, but is about the quickest substance on Earth as far as giving me sugar nausea goes. Elite tastes palatable, but gets disgusting quickly. Icing in moderation.

There's no difference between icing and frosting, just two terms for one thing. As far as I know.
