Frostningar

Frostningar, also known as frostings or icing, are sweet toppings used to decorate and enhance the taste of cakes, cookies, and other baked goods. They are typically made from a combination of sugar, butter, eggs, and flavorings, and can be applied using various techniques such as spreading, piping, or pouring. Frostings can be categorized into several types based on their consistency and texture. Buttercream is a light and fluffy frosting made from softened butter, powdered sugar, and sometimes additional ingredients like vanilla extract or food coloring. Royal icing is a stiff, smooth frosting made from powdered sugar, egg whites, and meringue powder. It is often used for intricate decorations. Ganache is a rich, creamy frosting made from chocolate and heavy cream, and is commonly used to top cakes and cookies. Fondant is a smooth, pliable icing made from sugar, water, and corn syrup, and is often used for covering and decorating cakes. Frostings can be flavored with a variety of extracts, such as vanilla, almond, or lemon, and can be colored using natural or artificial food dyes. They are an essential component of many baked goods, adding both visual appeal and enhanced flavor.
