Frosting

Frosting, also known as icing, is a sweet, often creamy, topping used to coat or decorate baked goods, such as cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and pastries. It is typically made from sugar (powdered or granulated), a fat source (butter, shortening, or oil), and often includes flavorings, such as vanilla, chocolate, or fruit extracts. frosting serves both an aesthetic purpose, adding visual appeal and enhancing the presentation of desserts, and a functional purpose, adding moisture, flavor, and sometimes helping to preserve the freshness of the baked item.
