Icing, is a sweet glaze, made of sugar with a liquid, such as water or milk, that is often enriched with ingredients like butter, eggwhites, cream cheese, or flavorings. It is used to coat or decorate baked goods, such as cakes, donuts, or honey buns. When it is used between layers of cake, it is known as a filling in some foods.
