Why do both have a low-temperature 'root', then? Because they're not liquidy? Because they may melt if handled wrongly?
My guess would be that, if they're not colored, they both look kind of like ice or frost, like on gingerbread houses.

The internet needs a Light-bulb thread?
Thanks anyway, ita and Kat. [Edit: and Hil]
Oh, and Kat! In a book I read last night, somebody was described as wearing a chapeau. The first time I ever encountered that word and looked it up was, surprisingly enough, in a post from you. So I thought of you last night.

I would say that frosting has some form of solid or near-solid fat -- either butter, shortening, or whipped cream -- while icing has either water or milk, or I suppose it could be made with cream, though I've never seen that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Polgara, did you friend do this one too? I LOVES IT!
Hey, Nilly started Chapeau so ^.
And yeah, good word, huh? I can't claim it as mine, nor can I claim the game as mine. I blame ita's best friend.

Which sounds like an ad for a porno movie featuring midgets.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Also randomly, I learned how to take screenshots on a mac and it's unaccountably easy.How? I thought I knew but not. And there are times I go through weird contortions when a screenshot would be the easier solution.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Gah. This day will never end, will it?
