What is buttercream frosting?

Basically, a fluffy, whipped frosting made of the good stuff: butter, sugar, and vanilla. There are fancier versions to be found such as Swiss, Italian and French. 

Is there a difference between frosting and icing?

Growing up we always referred to the frosting on a cake as “icing”, but really there is a difference. Traditionally frosting is thick and fluffy, whereas icing is thinner and glossier.
