Vanilla Icing

Vanilla Icing

EverydaySweetened

Vanilla icing is a sweetened mixture of powdered sugar and fat (typically butter or shortening) used as a smooth, spreadable topping for baked goods. Its signature vanilla flavor distinguishes it from plain sugar glaze, while its airy whipped texture contrasts with denser frostings like cream cheese varieties. This calorie-dense topping primarily adds sweetness and visual appeal to cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, with nutritional content varying significantly based on fat source and sugar ratio.
