CHAPTER-3 Types of Icing

2. Icing, often called frosting in the United
States, is a sweet, often creamy glaze made
of sugar with a liquid, such as water or milk,
that is often enriched with ingredients
like butter, egg whites, cream cheese,
or flavourings. It is used to cover
or decorate baked goods, such
as cakes or cookies. When it is used
between layers of cake, it is called filling.

3. Icing can be formed into shapes such as
flowers and leaves using a pastry bag. Such
decorations are commonplace
on birthday and wedding cakes. Food
coloring is commonly added to icing
mixtures to achieve the desired colour.
Sprinkles, colouring mist, edible ink
designs, or other decorations are often
used on top of icing.

5. Buttercream is made by creaming butter
until pale with icing sugar, vanilla and milk.
This soft, buttery icing can be spread over a
cake or piped into patterns. It can also be
flavoured with colour or chocolate and is
perfect for small cakes, like cupcakes.
Buttercream hardens on refrigeration and
does not keep for more than a few days.
Remember to keep this icing cool as it icing
melts easily.

6. This stiff and shiny icing can be kneaded
and rolled out to cover fruit or chocolate
mud cakes, often over a layer of marzipan.
Since its firmness helps keep cakes fresh, it
is often used for big cakes, wedding cakes
and cakes that require travelling.
Fondant can be made at home although it’s
usually purchased in a ready-to-use block,
It comes in white and ivory shades, but can
be tinted to any colour.

7. This typically American-style frosting is
made from egg whites, caster sugar
and water. It is whipped and then
spread with a palette knife onto the
cake to create an edible looking icing
that looks particularly striking when
decorated with fresh flowers. Be
warned though, you must act quickly
when icing your cake as it sets within
moments of coming off the heat.

8. This rich chocolate icing is made from
either white of dark chocolate and
cream. Ganache can look shiny or
matte and is also used as a filling or
piped into decorations. White
chocolate ganache can be tinted. Avoid
pairing ganache with a light cake such
as a delicate sponge as this thick icing
needs a cake that it won’t overpower,
such as a mud cake or an almond bundt
cake.

9. Cream cheese icing
The combination of cream
cheese, butter and icing sugar
makes a delicious fluffy, cream-
coloured icing. Cream cheese
icing traditionally decorates
carrot cakes and cupcakes. It can
be smoothed to a relatively even
finish or fluffed up for a more
casual cake.

10. Often confused with fondant,
royal icing is a white meringue-
like mixture made from egg
whites, acetic acid and icing
sugar. Royal icing is easily made
at home and has multiple uses.
Becoming rock-hard once set, it
is ideal for attaching
decorations to cakes and is a
popular icing for piping.

11. Icings or frostings are sweet coatings for cakes and other baked goods.
Icings have three main functions:-
❖ They improve the keeping qualities of the cake by forming protective coatings
around it.
❖ they contribute flavor and richness
❖ They improve appearance.

12. Topping something you put on top of food to make it look nicer or taste better. a layer of
food poured or spread over a base of a different type of food to add flavor.
Examples from the Corpus topping:
• On pasta, it means tomato-based sauces instead of cream-based toppings.
• vanilla ice cream with a chocolate topping
• The ones described here are the coffee creamers, toppings, and margarine.
• Cream of the crop: custard topping adds a crafty touch to Pear tart.
• The detritus is deposited in a bag and the water re-circulated, so no topping up is
required.
• You may add other toppings if you wish, but always use refried beans as the base.
