What does ICING mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sweet, often flavoured coating made mainly of sugar, used to cover and decorate cakes and other baked goods.
Icing is usually made by mixing powdered sugar with a liquid such as water, milk or egg white until it forms a smooth paste that can be spread or piped onto a cake before it sets firm. Bakers vary the recipe to get different textures, from a thin glaze that soaks slightly into the surface to a thick, stiff icing used for detailed decoration. The word is also used figuratively in the phrase icing on the cake, describing something pleasant added on top of an already good situation.
