Icing and

Fondant Icing
What is Icing?

Icing, or frosting, is a sweet, often

creamy glaze made of sugar with a
liquid, such as water or milk, that
often enriched with ingredients like
butter, egg white, cream cheese, or
flavorings. Icing can be formed into
shape such as flowers and leaves
using a pastry bag.

2. Add 1 tablespoon of milk and the vanilla
essence
3. Mix thoroughly
4. Add more milk one teaspoonful at a time
until the desired consistency is reached-
this icing can be made thin enough to
drizzle over a cake, or thicker if you want
to apply with a knife or spatula.
What are Fondant Icing?
– You may have seen fondants-covered cakes on
popular baking shows or at weddings you’ve
attended. If used properly, fondant gives cakes
a smooth, seamless covering that makes the
perfect blank canvas for further decoration.
While similar in purpose to buttercream,
fondant has little flavor and may even be
removed from baked goods before eating.
Below, we explain what fondant icing is, what
its made out of, and what else its used for.

3. Place 4 cups confectioners’ sugar in a
large bowl.
4. Use fondant immediately or store in
