Information Sheet 3.3-4
( Types of Icing/Frosting and Uses )

Learning Objectives:

After reading this Information Sheet, you must be able to:


1. Identify the types of icing/frosting.

Icing and Frosting

Meaning of Icing

Icing is a sweet coating made of sugar, butter, water, and egg whites or
milk; it is often flavored and cooked and used to cover or decorate baked goods,
such as cakes or cookies.

Different types of Icing

Here are the most kinds of cake that you can use to finish your cakes.

1. Buttercream Icing
Is made of sifted powdered sugar, milk and superior butter. The quality
of butter used will reflect on the appearance, consistency and taste of your
buttercream frosting.
Children love this type of frosting and are one of the most common
types used in cake decorating and the secret is whipping up the butter at the right
temperature. Also since, the type of icing melts easily in hot weather, the finished
cake must be chilled prior to serving to prevent the butter cream frosting from
losing its stiffness.

2. Whipped Cream
This type of cake icing is achieved using cold heavy whipping cream
and sugar. Some would advise you to use powdered sugar but ordinary granulated
sugar would work just as well.
You can also add your preferred extract or flavoring to match your
cake’s flavor. This is a favorite among those who love a light and easy-to-make
frosting on their cake.

3. Royal Icing
This type of icing dries into a hard outer shell. It is also one of the
easiest to dye with edible colorings. There are two ways to make this type of
frosting: using egg whites (like meringue icing) and powdered sugar or by using
meringue powder in place of egg whites.
This type of icing is also used to “flood” or color sugar cookies by
adding a bit more water to make it pourable. The baker then uses different cake
decorating tools to draw features on plain biscuits or cookies.

4. Cream cheese Frosting
Is made with part butter cream frosting and a good quality cream
cheese. This type of frosting is usually perfect for carrot cakes, red velvet cakes and
as a filling for doughnuts and cupcakes because of its consistency.
It is a bit heavier to spread than most types of cake icing. Some would
even put cream cheese frosting on their bread as a standard spread.

5. Meringue
The basic ingredients for this frosting are egg whites, cold water and
granulated sugar and are one of the most common types of cake icing. It is
light and fluffy because air is introduced into the egg mixture to create a stiff
consistency.

6. Fondant
This is a popular heavy frosting among celebration cakes because it is
easy to sculpt and work out. Basic fondant ingredients include gelatin, glycerine,
water, icing or castor sugar (lighter than powdered sugar) and shortening.
Fondant is made by melting marshmallows (or heating the gelatin
mixture) and adding the rest of ingredients until you achieve the right consistency,
which ideally, should stretch but should not tear easily. This cake icing is quite
heavy and sculpting it to various shapes is possible, with the use of carving and
decorating tools.

7. Chocolate Ganache
Chocolate ganache and glazing are probably the easiest cake icings to
make. This rich chocolate icing is made from either white of dark chocolate and
cream. Can look shiny or matte and is also used as a filling or piped into
decorations.
