Thank you. Let's get to this dumb debate. I put
this up on Facebook last night, and I have to
give credit to Eileen. She listens to us from Georgia.

(01:09):
I believe Atlanta. I believe she sent me this the
other day and she said this is a great debate
because they were having this debate in her family. This
would be good for your show. When you bake a cake,
do you top it with icing or frosting? Which word
does your family use. I'm pretty sure we were a

(01:35):
frosting family, I think because my mom would say, I'm
on the front, let me frost the cake.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
But see, I look at it as like my mom
would make certain cakes and then kind of pour and
icing over the top of it.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, and that was kind of thin.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
And made with powdered sugar, and it was thin and
you poured it overheah. And then when you frost the cake,
it was more that whipped up.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
So I know you had to spread it.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, yeah, you spread that with a fork. I mean,
I'm sorry, a knife, But you understand what I'm saying
is more fluffy. To me, Frosting is the fluffy stuff.
Icing is the is the.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I think that's probably technically right, is it.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I am not a baker by any stretch of the imagination.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
So okay, our neighbor Dan says, my mom said icing.
But I but now I say frosting. That's not really
answering the question. Yeah, we called.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Everything icing, even though you know frosting. I do think
it's the stuff you spread.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Okay, she said, Okay, well that makes sense. She says frosting.
She says frosting. Dana says she uses both interchangeably. H
Pam says frosting for cake, icing for cookies. Okay, I
can see that, Oh you could, okay. Nancy says icing
ergo icing on the cake. Just enjoy it. Expression See,
No one says that's the frosting on the cake.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
They don't say that.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
They don't say that. They say icing on the cake.
So and then let's see what else do we have here.
Artless says frosting. Bradley says ice cream. I'm a carvel kid.
We're not talking about no damn ice cream, Bradley, Bradley,
can you read? Yeah, Oh my gosh, that has nothing
to do with what we're talking. Michael says, don't care
as long as it's a thick chocolate covering. That's not answering.

(03:17):
It's not helpful.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah. Yeah, we're trying to do an official scientific thing
here and your non answers don't help me.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
So a lot of people say frosting.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, I think that's the one that's winning.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's winning. Tanya says icing, Patty says icing. Okay, so
what do you think dumb debate? We know it's dumb. Yeah.
Uh so if you have a preference, do you ice
the cake or do you frost the cake? Is it
icing or frosting? One triple eight four one five one
oh five five? Or you can text us four seven
one four to two, type in MO and your message,

(03:51):
or you know what if if you know, if you're
a baker, like a legitimate that's your job. Yeah, like
you're legit that that's what you do for a living.
Maybe you could tell us, uh, you know the right answer,
