Pie crust and cake frosting

I was at a birthday party for a neighbor a long time ago. Children were invited and, of course, were served cake. Almost all of them scraped off the frosting. I was shocked - that's the best part of the cake! My mom and I used to go to church suppers. Most served pie as a dessert and a fair number of diners ate the filling and left the crust on the plate. You might as well eat pie filling out of a can, then.

Depends on the pie crust. I won’t buy most store bought pies because the crust is so awful. I’ve found a woman who sell great pies. Not sure if that’s good or bad.

Cake should have icing/frosting. I save those bites for the last.

Do Americans not use the expression “that’s the icing on the cake”.
 
No, I'd eat both.

Here is a big confession: Before I stopped consuming products with palm oil, I'd buy a container of the pre made frostings in the tubs like Pilsbury etc. And if you haven't guessed, I'd eat the frosting straight. It was a rarity and I knew how bad it was, but it was so good. The pesky cake would have just got in the way.

Icing and frosting are both used here, but really icing refers to more of a glaze-like covering, but thicker.

From some old joke book: a young bride who didn't have many cooking skills decided to bake a cake. Later, she ran to her mother in tears, exclaiming "I left the cake in the freezer all day.. but there still isn't any icing on it!" :oops::ROFLMAO:
