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.

Last minute bookreport for Little Women. (Has sound.)
My favorite part is "They're 100% woman at 50% the size."
Polgara, did you friend do this one too? I LOVES IT!
Hey, Nilly started Chapeau so ^.

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.

Cass, it's shift-4-Apple. Then you'll get a cursor. Drag and release the cursor around what you want a shot of. When you release it will automatically save what you took a picture of as PDF on your desktop. Nifty, huh?

Because books.
The only true icing is buttercream icing. Unless it's called frosting.
Still. Butter, sugar. Mmmmmm.
