FAQ

What is the difference between chocolate frosting and icing?

In broad terms, frosting is thick and fluffy, and is used to coat the outside (and often the inner layers) of a cake. Icing is thinner and glossier than frosting, and can be used as a glaze or for detailed decorating.

What’s the difference between icing and frosting?

Icing is thinner than frosting but not quite as thin as a glaze. Typically made with powdered sugar and liquid, such as water, milk, or juice, icing can be drizzled or spread. Icing has more shine and a smoother consistency than frosting.

Which chocolate is best for frosting?

Use either unsweetened natural cocoa powder such as Hershey’s brand or dutch process cocoa powder for making chocolate buttercream. Can I Substitute Heavy Cream? You can thin the frosting with milk instead of heavy cream, but you may need slightly less.

Can you put melted chocolate in icing sugar?

Beat the butter in a bowl until soft, then gradually beat in the icing sugar. Add the vanilla extract and beat again. Fold in the melted chocolate until completely incorporated (add a few drops of milk if the mixture is a little stiff). This icing can be kept in the fridge for a few days.
