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.

Oh, that stuff! Mmmmmmmmmmmm yes. :D

I have this delicious recipe for buttercream, though, if you like:

6 tablespoons softened butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (actually, I usually double this, or so, but of course you can make the basic recipe and just add more to taste if you think it needs it)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (I double this, too :3 )

Mush together and refrigerate. (It's fabulous when you've just made it, but trust me, it gets even better after it's been in the fridge a bit. At least I think so. I think it gets more buttery and chocolatey.)

Although, perusing the Duncan Hines site... I've never seen buttercream by them! I'll have to check next time I'm at the store.
