This is a General rule for Icing vs Frosting: The terms are used interchangeably, but frosting is generally thicker and fluffier than icing, which is thinner and tends to set quickly and harden when dry. Icing is generally not spreadable like frosting-it needs to be poured, spooned, or drizzled over baked goods. I hope this helps. I know US terms can be very challenging😏 SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!😍

The dessert acquired its name when cakes and pies were cooked in the same pans, and the words were used interchangeably. In the late 19th century, this type of cake was variously called a "cream pie", a "chocolate cream pie", or a "custard cake". You can buy them anywhere in the US. Eclairs are also available anywhere in the US.

Actually, the terms "frosting" and "icing" are often interchangeable here, at least in my experience. I live in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic region of the U.S., and have spent time in Massachusetts from where my dad and that side of our family hails. Love Boston Cream Pie, and, yes, we enjoy eclairs here and Boston cream doughnuts that are filled with yummy custard and topped with chocolate ganache.

Y'all are such a beautiful family! I love how you guys are so eager to learn so many things together while at the same time building so many great memories/traditions to carry on throughout your whole lives. I'm late to your videos but I saw in your thanksgiving dinner one y'all really liked that pumpkin pie and were shocked that it could be so good, so I thought you might be interested in "Carrot Cake" and since Martha steered so well last time, I found this: Ingredients - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans. - 1 teaspoon baking powder. - 1 teaspoon baking soda. - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. - 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt. - 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. - 3 sticks (12 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans. - 1 cup packed light-brown sugar. - 1/2 cup granulated sugar. - 3 large eggs. - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. - 1/2 cup water. - 1 pound carrots (8 to 10 medium carrots), peeled and shredded on a box grater or in a food processor (about 2 3/4 cups). - 2 cups pecans (1 cup finely chopped for batter, 1 cup coarsely chopped for decorating sides of cake). - Easy Cream Cheese Frosting for Carrot Cake. Directions Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms with parchment paper, and butter parchment. Dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and nutmeg. Step 2 Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat 3 minutes. Add vanilla, water, and carrots. Beat until well combined, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture, then finely chopped pecans. Step 3 Scrape batter into prepared pans, dividing evenly. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around edges of cakes to loosen, and turn out cakes onto rack. Turn right side up, and let cool completely. Step 4 Using a serrated knife, trim rounded top of 2 cakes. Place one trimmed cake, cut side up, on a serving platter. Spread 1 cup frosting over cake. Top with second trimmed cake, cut side down. Spread 1 cup frosting over cake. Top with remaining cake. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides. Gently press coarsely chopped pecans onto sides of cake. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving. I'm planning on trying this one myself so it will be new for me too, if you do give it a shot, I hope it turns out just as good as the pumpkin pie.

Nana Cat from Seattle here. I have been watching you and your family while trying American foods. You Young Lady, are the same ages as some of my grandkids. I am not sure how you cut that cake so well ~ I am 70 years old and I have baked a lot of stuff. I would have messed that up, lol. So you go Grrrl,! Lots of love from Seattle to you and your family, Nana Cat Washington State is known for its wheat and apples. I will look for some good treats for you to make. But one good thing to try is making pork chop with apples. Here is how you make them for 3-4 large porkchops: • 3/4-inch thick pork chops • 2 tsp vegetable oil • Salt and pepper, to taste • 2 cups apple cider OR juice • 1/3 cup coarse-grained mustard • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced, about 1/2-inch thick • 2 Tbsp cornstarch • 2 Tbsp water, chicken stock or Riesling wine • OPTIONAL: • 1/2 cup raisins • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced DIRECTIONS: 1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops and season with salt and pepper. 2. Combine apple cider and mustard; pour over pork chops. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Add apples (and optional raisins and green onions). 3. Cover; cook 5 to 10 minutes longer until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145°F. 4. Place pork chops and apples on serving platter; keep warm. 5. Stir together cornstarch and water or other liquid. Stir into pan juices; stir until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Continue to boil to reduce sauce, as desired. Season to taste. 6. Serve sauce over pork chops and apples. Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie. Some Notes from Nana Cat: If all you have are thinner porkchops, this works too. I would not use as much sauce or mustard as this recipe calls for, but a couple tablespoons might be nice and then taste to add more or less if you like it. Any mustard will do because this addition is a pretty "gourmet" expensive mustard. But apples and pork is good any way you make them. Also you might consider a pork roast with applesauce or apple butter as a glaze, real easy to make. Apple butter is easy to make. I can the butter in jars but if you make a little it will keep in the fridge for a long time. It is versatile and good on pancakes, waffles, biscuits, or on pork. To cook the apples in bulk, I use the Instant Pot. But for a smaller batch, I use a slow cooker or on the stove works fine too to cook down the apples. Take any amount of apples (I always get a bunch from my neighbor's tree). You need to add some water or apple juice and core them ~ but do not have to peel them, if you put them into a blender or have an stick blender like this one: www.target.com/p/mpm-hand-blender-mixer-mini-electric-stick-with-egg-whisk-multi-speed-control-and-safety-child-lock-for-baby-food-fruits-shakes-sauces-and-soup/-/A-83973629#lnk=sametab. The peels actually have some pectin in them, which is used to make jams and jellies, so blending them down is good. After boiling them down and blending them, add sugar to taste and cinnamon,.nutmeg, and/or ginger if you like, but I just use cinnamon. For several hours, slowly cook the apples down further until very thick, stirring every so often. Put this butter into hot jars and seal them or in a bowl to refrigerate. Canned apple butter is good to give away as gifts during the holidays or for a housewarming with some recipes as to how to use it. Use as you would jam or as a glaze. A native Washingtonian am I! 🙃🤩😍🤗

At 8:33, so about this, people call it frosting or icing depending on where you are from in the U.S., but where I am in New York, it’s a little bit of both, but we usually use icing when talking about a cake, while frosting we usually use on smaller things like cupcakes.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Yeah, dark or even unsweetened, because you're adding sugar. Possibly gelatine added too, because a chocolate mirror glaze is very common for Boston Creme, if not strictly necessary.

[@BostonAmy]

Wow! I actually recommended that u make this about 2 weeks ago when I watched your Cuban sandwich (Florida). I'm from Boston. U also could've went w/ Boston Baked Beans. But I think u made the right choice.😉 If u wanna sound like a true Bostonian, you have to use the word, "wicked". Like, your Boston Cream pie looks wicked good. 👍❤️

[@shadowtrooper1052]

As someone who's from North Shore of Boston like 5 mins from the city I can tell you that's one of my favorite foods plus Chowder

[@anitaharris9095]

You've got such good clear voice. You are easier to understand than must other cooking show hosts.

[@CapturedByKen]

Atlanta is practically radiating positive energy , this whole family is just awesome!

[@SARGE-LSA]

Hello Atlanta. Well Done!!! I went to college in Boston. I often would find myself craving a Boston cream pie most weekends. I must say your cake looks more delicious than most boston cream pies i have seen. Dunkin donuts is an american coffee and donut shop located in most american towns, that was originally from boston. The most popular donut there is the boston cream donut. Enjoy. Keep up the great work.

[@christinascheu2342]

I live about 25 minutes from Massachusetts I live in NY and yes Boston cream pie is delicious. Boston cream donuts are also delicious

[@SueProv]

You must be a couple of hours north of NYC.

[@limarie6745]

"Hi" from Massachusetts!! Great job!! We even have Boston cream pie donuts!!😉 If you ever want to make a Massachusetts savory food, our famous is New England clam chowder or as we say it "chowdah".

[@americannomad513]

Sign me up! I love New England clam chowder!

[@dan9809]

I like Bavarian Cream Donuts better.

[@johnjdumas]

I live in NE Massachusetts. These "pies" are made in some of our larger supermarket chains, so I can always run out and get one. Chocolate eclairs are also available in the same places. So are the donut versions. If you are on a diet do not go near our supermarket bakeries!

[@timwright4361]

I am a huge fan of Atlanta's Kitchen. It is entertaining and hilarious, as well as educational. It always looks amazing. I really appreciate my New Zealand Family

[@bigal7561]

You are a wonderful young lady. I've have boston Cream Pie and love it. You have to try bread pudding. It was created during the depression and the dust bowl days. It's wonderful but got a bad reputation as poor people deserts. Well I grew up poor and had wonderful food because my mom and sisters were great cooks and I love bread pudding. It's a delicacy now. Ha ngredients 2 large eggs 2 large egg yolks 2-1/4 cups half-and-half cream 2 cups whole milk 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 20 dinner rolls (1-1/4 pounds), cut into 1-inch cubes (18 cups) 3 tablespoons brown sugar sauce: 1 cup butter, cubed 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup half-and-half cream 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/8 teaspoon baking soda Buy Ingredients Powered by Chicory Directions Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together the first 10 ingredients until blended. Gently stir in bread. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. or 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar; let stand until bread is softened, about 15 minutes. Bake until puffed and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar; stir until dissolved. Gradually stir in cream. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until thickened, 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add vanilla, sea salt and baking soda, stirring well. Serve sauce with warm bread pudding.

Atlanta, great job on making the Boston Cream Pie! I am from Massachusetts and I love them, and yes we have eclairs, also a favorite. I am so glad that you enjoyed our state's food. Love your family, and that your American cousins can inspire you. All the best and big hugs.

[@BWen3]

She’s got skills! That center cut is a tough technique!

[@jovetj]

Nah, it's really easy if you do it the way she quickly figured out. Hold the knife still, turn the cake.

[@BWen3]

@@jovetj cool, man. Lol

[@kevincline704]

Atlanta, you are so confident in your presentation and delivery. There are people who take classes to public speak and aren’t as good as you are. You did an excellent job, especially cutting the cake in half. Yes, I could hear that rain, but it wasn’t loud. I actually love the sound of rain, it makes great napping. We use icing and frosting. I believe that certain cakes use different. Frosting tends to stay soft and will stick to your finger when you touch it. Icing hardens when it dries and you could rub your finger all over and never get any on your finger. Oh, I also loved your snap and wound up outside. Keep up the great work, love you all. See you all in the next video.

[@jkbowman1788]

Well done kiddo! You are a natural. All of your videos bring such a brightness to my day, so thanks to each of you. -Your Wisconsin fan

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Cracking a thin layer of the cake is easy to repair. I always thought the designation 'Pie' was a hold over from earlier times. Like in the UK anything called a pudding can be any type of dessert whether it is pudding or not. Did some research & the most common explanation is in the mid 19th century, pie tins were used much more to bake with than special made cake tins. So it comes from the bake ware. Eclairs are common here. Boston cream pie is quite common all over the US. 😀

[@sarahenley613]

Sometimes my grandma made a version of Boston cream pie where she would top it with a strawberry jam glaze rather than chocolate icing and it was delicious!

[@dwarnica]

Atlanta makes every recipe look so easy! Amazing talent!

[@mjb12141963]

Frosting is what is used to cover the cake, Icing is what is used to decorate the cake with flowers, borders, stars, writing and so on. Dividing a cake like in this video is more easily done with w piece of string or unwaxed floss.

[@peggygibbons9220]

You did an amazing job with the cooking and the explanation, Atlanta. Here in St. Louis, Missouri, most of our grocery stores have their own bakeries. They sometimes have Boston cream pie and it became the favorite birthday "cake" of my brother-in-law. My favorite donut is one called a long-john with the vanilla custard filling and chocolate icing, also called an éclair. You mentioned that you almost made Missouri's favorite food, ravioli. In St. Louis, we have a large area settled by Italians many years ago. They opened many restaurants, meat markets and bakeries. Many of those restaurants are still open today, creating a unique area called "The Hill". One unusual way we have of making ravioli is to deep fry it, sprinkle it with grated Parmesan cheese and eat it with our hands by dipping it into marinara sauce. It's usually an appetizer or snack. It's called toasted ravioli, even though I've only ever known it to be deep fried. It's so popular that we can buy frozen versions so we don't have to make the ravioli from scratch. It's often served at wedding reception dinners in the area. I love your cooking shows! You're a natural.

[@thegamerchef7220]

ive been to missouri baking co there on the hill once for a culinary fieldtrip, i had a cannoli which was the first time having a cannoli. by the way i live an hour west of stl

[@williamgum7413]

In 1967 I was in the Army and stationed at Fort Devens, just north of Boston, so I have had Boston Cream Pie, and thought it a bit too sweet for my taste. Atlanta you did a super job, keep up the good work!

[@tcallaghan2321]

Atlanta reminds me of my oldest daughter. She had the same love of cooking. She is now a culinary school graduate and works in the kitchens of Epcot in Orlando. Her two dreams as a kid were to be a chef and live at Disney! Keep up the cooking kiddo!

[@xoCaboLo]

Atlanta!!!!!. You are amazing! You are such a natural in front of the camera and cooking in the kitchen. I am really enjoying your videos and can’t wait to see more.

[@davidhazelip3884]

I love this family, Miss Atlanta you are an absolute joy to watch in the kitchen,

[@marcyjones2667]

Whoo I'm in Springfield Missouri, I was surprised to hear that we were almost next 😂 I hope you still get around to ours soon, the breaded ravioli famously came from St Louis Missouri, almost any Italian place around here has them now though as they're a much loved classic. My favorite comes from Imo's Pizza! Make sure you serve with warmed marinara sauce to dip in! ❤

[@Gooberjack]

Yo! Fellow Springfieldian! I'm pretty stoked to see those ravioli as well. They're so good!

[@Lisa-cq3xt]

Hi! Wentzville, Missouri here

[@pimpkid0609]

Interesting...being from KC I had no idea that ravioli was a St. Louis thing. I assumed it would be some kind of St. Louis ribs or BBQ. I went from judging the choice to being welcome to it because of this comment. Good to know!

[@TheHeatherjane]

@@pimpkid0609 I'm in KC too and had no idea, I really figured it would be BBQ.

[@joavisboston302]

Need to send her a cashew chicken recipe.

[@TobileyP]

Great job, Atlanta! I’m from Massachusetts and have lived here my whole life. We’ve had Boston cream pie many times. My mother used to make it when we were children. She made it slightly differently. There would be two cakes and one cake would be the bottom layer and one the top. And the custard was thicker, more like an inch of custard, and the chocolate on top is a darker chocolate. Basically the same ingredients, just slight differences. Most bakeries here will have Boston cream pie. Some cooking tips, which is hysterical coming from me because I’m not a baker and I usually screw things up! But the metal cups measuring cups are for dry ingredients and liquid measurements are done in the glass measuring cup. Apparently there’s a difference! Have you heard of the show on Netflix called Nailed It!? It’s a really funny show. Too bad you couldn’t go on it, you would smash it!

[@sandpiperr]

Ha! Atlanta is way above Nailed It! The entire point of that show is that the contestants are people who aren't good cooks.

[@TobileyP]

Exactly…which is why she would show them up!
