What is the differrce between Icing and frosting?
Technically frosting is used to describe buttercream and anything that is whipped and fluffy, whereas icing is used more for glazes and thinner consistencies. Here in the USA we call everything icing and don’t really use the term frostings – I think this may be because we call powdered sugar icing sugar. Either way, they are both delicious!
