Let's start with the classics: Buttercream and Royal Icing. Buttercream is the most popular choice for cakes and cupcakes, and for good reason - it's rich, creamy, and oh-so-delicious. Royal Icing, on the other hand, is perfect for decorating and making intricate designs.
Royal Icing is made with egg whites and powdered sugar, which makes it super sturdy and long-lasting. It's like the superhero of icings - it can withstand heat, humidity, and even a few accidental knocks. Buttercream, on the other hand, is a bit more high-maintenance, but trust us, it's worth it!
