sionnach commented on the word chainishness
Why do you ration the cupcakes so? Is it because you hate freedom?
April 29, 2008
chained_bear commented on the word chainishness
I think it's because reesetee probably reasonably fears I'll freak out about getting icing in my fur, or something. Or Is It... *eyes reesetee suspiciously*

sionnach commented on the word chainishness
Speeaking of which, just what is the difference between icing and frosting anyway?

reesetee commented on the word chainishness
Oh, I Love Freedom. I do. However, I do not love angry, icing-besmirched mammals of the family Ursidae.

reesetee commented on the word chainishness
Ah! I had a feeling that question would come up! I actually changed my last comment from "frosting" to "icing" because I use both words interchangeably and couldn't decide which one I wanted. Darn English.

chained_bear commented on the word chainishness
I think it is one of those regional variations in the United States--I'm not sure there is a substantive difference.
*tastes cupcakes from before reesetee edited comment, and after*
*tastes them again*
Nope, no substantive difference.

*carefully hands chained_bear every last blessed cupcake*
Waaahhh. Ursine hegemony. What about unfulfilled vulpine cupcake needs?
Foxes have needs too!!! Shuffles off to the henhouse to puncture all your eggs.

trivet commented on the word chainishness
I think frosting is thicker, with more of a home-made feel than icing.
It is much harder for me envision a fox with frosting on his whiskers than a bear with icing on her nose. Maybe that's why you can't get any cupcake love, sionnach.

*does a cupcake dance on tippy-toes, in a tutu*
Here, sionnach. *shares cupcakes* Make sure you don't accidentally drop it in your big fennec ears.

reesetee commented on the word chainishness
Henhouse? Eggs? Do I look like a chicken?
Anyway, we have plenty of cupcakes to go 'round. *spreads the cupcake love liberally*

pterodactyl commented on the word chainishness
Speaking as a giant prehistoric reptile, I have to say that I don't really like cupcakes.
Muffins, though...

Prolagus commented on the word chainishness
Hey, an extinct lagomorph here is starving... and this is discrimination. Defend uniformitarianism, treat extinct species just as the extant ones.
What do you think, pterodactyl?
April 30, 2008
reesetee commented on the word chainishness
Did I not just say we have plenty of cupcakes? Or--okay, muffins too (for extinct lagomorphs and giant prehistoric reptiles).
*handing out more treats*
Gracious. Good thing I'm just an old creole bon vivant who indiscriminately flings cupcakes. ;->

Fling not, reesetee, you know this bear doesn't like it. Probably can't catch.

That's the frosting on the cupcake for you then, tippy toes?

gangerh commented on the word chainishness
And all the pages before were just the cupcake under the icing, eh, c_b?

dontcry commented on the word chainishness
if you just kind of peck at the icing/frosting (i'm smack in the thick of it too) and never eat the cake, would that make you a bad person?

mollusque commented on the word chainishness
There is a big difference between frosting and icing. Frosting is thick and holds shapes like rosettes and shells like those you see piped around the edges of a birthday cake. It remains soft to the touch and has a creamy texture, and most people think it tastes better because of the creamy buttery flavor. Icing, on the other hand, is a thinner, more liquid substance, and as it dries it thins out, becomes very smooth across the surface of your cookie, and hardens. This is the icing to use for the most beautiful, professional results.
