 What Is It

Variety of Frosting or Icing, Filings and Glazes Used in Pastries

Frosting or icing, fillings and glazes are typically a sweet, sugar-based soft

mixture used to fill, coat, add flavor, and improve the appearance and texture. They
are used on baked recipes such as cakes, cupcakes, cookies and pastries, when
decorating from simple to elaborate.

FROSTING/ICING

Icing, or frosting, is a sweet, often creamy glaze made of sugar with a liquid,
such as water or milk that is often enriched with ingredients like butter, egg whites,
cream cheese, or flavourings. It is used to cover or decorate baked goods, such as
cakes, cookies or pastries.

Royal Icing

Ingredients
4 egg whites
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Procedure
Beat egg whites in clean, large bowl with mixer at high speed until foamy.
Gradually add sugar and lemon extract. Beat at high speed until thickened.
NOTE: When dry, Royal Icing is very hard and resistant to damage that can
occur during handling.

Buttercream:
Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons milk
3 drops food coloring, or as needed (optional)

Procedure:
1. Cream butter with a hand mixer, the paddle attachment of a stand mixer,
or a wooden spoon until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners'
sugar until fully incorporated. Beat in vanilla extract.

2
 2. Pour in milk and beat for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add food coloring, if
using, and beat for thirty seconds until smooth or until desired color is
reached.
3. Remove saucepan from the heat and add the glycerin and glucose syrup.
Stir until combined well, then add vanilla essence.
4. Pour the gelatin mixture into the well in the icing sugar.
5. Mix until all of the icing sugar is combined with the mixture. Knead the
icing until it is well combined and smooth.

Boiled Icing

Ingredients
2 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
¼ tsp. cream of tartar
1 tbsp. corn syrup(optional)
4 egg whites

Procedure:
1. Combine together sugar, water and syrup.
2. Bring to boil over low fire until it forms into threadlike consistency.
3. On a separate bowl, beat together egg whites and cream of tartar until
stiff.
4. Pour hot syrup to beaten eggs whites gradually.
5. Continue beating until mixture becomes stiff and fluffy.

Glazes

A shiny coating such as syrup, applied to a food. Glaze can be poured,

drizzled or brushed on with a pastry brush on the outside of pastries or cookies. It
makes food shiny and glossy by coating. Once applied, the glaze sets up very
quickly, so you only have a small window of time in which to use it.

Basic Milk Glaze

Whisk together 2 cups confectioner’s sugar and ¼ cup milk until smooth,
adding more milk if needed to reach desired consistency. Make about ¾ cup.

Brown Sugar Glaze

Heat 6 tablespoon unsalted butter and ½ cup packed light brown sugar in a
saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add 2 tablespoon of
heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon salt then bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, and then let it cool until thickened. This makes about 1 cup.
Lemon Glaze
3
 Whisk together 2 cups confectioner’s sugar with 2 teaspoons finely grated
lemon zest and ¼ cup lemon juice until smooth. This makes about 1 cup.

Chocolate Glaze

Place 3 ounces chopped bitter sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring ½

cup heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan, pour over chocolate. Let it stand
for 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, and mix until smooth. Stirring
occasionally until slightly thickened. Make 1 cup.

FILLING

An edible mixture used to fill pastries, sandwiches and cakes. A quality,

attractive and tasty filling will in the end determine the final quality of the pastries.

The table below indicates the different kinds of fillings for pies and pastry. It shows
how they are made, their uses and how to store them.
