Hello here,

Can someone clearly explain the definition of these four icing,buttercream, meringues, and frosting?? whats the difference? I cover my cake with whatever is a cake supposed to be covered with but i really don't know if there is a difference or something special about each one.

I'm sure I speak for many people here that like myself are somewhat newbies at baking. Let's educate us a little bit.

and no, this is not a joke or anything like that :P

Thanks a lot cake professionals :)
