frosting, icing, it is not a waste of butter and sugar, uk

If I knew you were wanking, I'd have iced a cake
Over in hp_britglish, schemingreader makes the mistake of asking what the stuff you spread on top of a cake is called. Hint: It ain't "frosting".

oncelikeshari thinks that butter icing is evil and wrong and should be stopped, or that it doesn't exist. I'm not entirely sure.

Either way, I want cake. :(

Short, but sweet.

	London doesn't exist as far as we Up North are concerned ;-) sees your lemon drizzle cake and raises you a Bakewell Tart with little wavy lines on the icing (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, but as far as London is concerned, everything north of the Watford gap is a vague, unsettling nightmare. We're not actually certain of the existence of things outside the M25, unless we need somewhere to commute from. misses Newcastle wants a Bakewell tart with a Cherry on top, or possibly a slice of victoria sponge (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But Victoria sponge only has cream and jam, no icing!! Perhaps a little sprinkle of icing sugar counts as a type of minimalist, post-modern icing. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	And then you get people like my husband who, as I merrily belted up the M1 away from London, looked up from his map and said: "I had no idea that the Watford Gap was up here. I thought it was at Watford!" Of course, he'm be a Wurzel and everyone's a damn vurriner to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Bakewell tarts with icing are for southern sissies; Bakwell pudding is the real thing! <Goes off to pine for proper Bakewell pudding.> (Reply to this)(Parent)
