About Vanilla frosting

Vanilla frosting is a sweet, spreadable topping flavored with vanilla, commonly used to cover or fill cakes, cupcakes and other baked goods. It is typically smooth and creamy, though its firmness and sweetness vary with the recipe.

Forms include homemade butter-based frosting and prepared tubs or other commercial frostings, which may use different fats, sugars and vanilla flavorings. These versions are not interchangeable in composition; the term alone does not specify a particular recipe.
