Do you eat icing?

I like SOME icings. A lot of them are too sweet, & I like the "whipped" kind best. I wouldn't eat spoonfuls of it; because that just isn't healthy for me. I sometimes will eat half a spoonful(shh! :) ). It usually ends up giving me a sugar headache. Still yummy!

hi there! i never tried doing that. i do love eating icing but it should be on the cake.

I love the icing...but not to eat as a meal...now I just have to know something...are you one of those skinny as a rail people??

When I was younger I used to eat the icing right out of the cantaior or I would scrape the icing off the sided of the bowls and eat it after mom had baked a cake now I give the bowls to my kids I just don't like that much of a sweet taste all at once anymore.

I have been known to have a bit of extra icing left over from a cake and to take that container and eat it. I have also been depressed before and ate almost a half of a tub at once. The chocolate icing just calls to me at times! Rarely can I take so much sweetness all at once though. I guess you could consider it like a bowl of ice cream.

i usually just eat the icing and leave the cake lol. but my favourite bit is the marzipan! I can sit and eat marzipan like you say you can eat icing. my mam thinks it is dirty to eat it like this lol

I used to ALWAYS eat the left over icing...... My mam used to always call me when she was finished baking a cake to give me the bowl with the icing.... But then one day I ate too much.... and got sick..... Haven't eaten the stuff since.... Not that I can anymore.... (diabetic) :)

i eat icing when it is on the cake, but not when it is not on the cake :D

yeah and i lie it very much it is really delicious ,and nowww ,i have no chance to eat it .it is relly a pity because you know ,i am in school so have no chance to eat it ,my teacher always asked us to study hard ,do not always want to eat ,attend to your study

I remember when i was still a kid i always like to eat icing. Whenever my cousins or its my birthday i dont eat the cake but instead i lick all the icing on it. Especially the flower decorations which are made of icing. Even up to now i make icing just put it on top of the muffins or i make merengues. And for me its the best treat for myself.

I do! I used to all the time! I wish I still could now! I crave it all the time! It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo good all by itself! I personally think that you are SUPPOSED to eat icing/frosting all by itself! It is SOOOOOOOO sweet and takes away your sweet tooth! It is just yummy! And now I want some! *LOL* :)

Icing is essentially sugar with a bit of flavouring and a bit of colour sometimes, this is essentially the same as candies, so you are really eating really soft candy. I love the icing and almond paste on the top of fruit cake although I am not sure I would eat it by itself. If that is your worst vice I would count yourself lucky.

I do not do it often, but I have done it before.

never by the spoonful, no. if i have a bit leftover, i will dip a few pretzels in it, which is yummy! but then again, the only types of store bought frosting that i like is chocolate. that white stuff in the can is just icky! if it's not chocolate, it got to be homemade. (and if it's homemade, why not make it with cream cheese?)

I haven't done it in awhile, but I used to grab a can of chocolate frosting & a jar of peanut butter & get a spoonful of PB & then dip it into the icing! YUMMMM!!

Uww, now there's a sweet tooth for you. I can't say I have ever had it for a snack or treat. Wait . . . we do sometimes buy a can of Cream Cheese Icing by Pilsbury and spread it on a piece of toast. Does that count. It's quite yummy.

If it is chocolate or buttercream I could probably eat afew spoonfuls. But if itis that white stuff that tastes like a mixture of sugar and lard then I say a wholehearted "NO THANKS!" I would gag.

Hey reiny! Oooooooo! You are worse then me! Even I don't do that! I used to put some icing on cookies at least! But I never sat down with a can of icing to eat with a spoon! Ewwww! That is too sweet even for me! How can you eat that? I love sweets, but even I can't tolerate a spoonful of icing without a cookie or cake? I will lick some when I make the cake, but that's it! I will tell you what I could eat though. I could eat the entire cake batter! That I could do! The cake could end up never being made! So between the two of us if we were to try to "make a cake", the cake would never be made!lol. I would eat the entire cake batter and you could eat the entire can of frosting!lol And then we could have the eaten the cake that never was!lol What do you think? Do you want to not bake a cake with me?

I'm sure that stuff is nothing but sugar! I do occasionally eat it though, but just the end after we put it on a cake, the leftovers. It makes my throat hurt to eat a lot of something really sweet like that, and after a while it makes me feel ill, but it really is so good!

I do eat icing but not too much because it's a bit on the sweet side and when eaten too much it makes me feels different. I prefer eating icing together with the cake which will taste better. Hey, a lady got to watch her figure you know and I better do or else will end up like a ballon. But I fancy more on fresh cream which is less sweet and is yummy..
