What is poured icing on a cake?

"Poured icing" is a bit vague. It could refer to a few different things:

* Buttercream icing: This is a common and popular type of icing that can be poured onto a cake, especially if it's thinned with a bit of milk or cream. It usually has a rich, creamy texture and can be flavored with vanilla, chocolate, or other extracts.

* Ganache: This is a rich, chocolate-based icing made from chocolate and cream. It can be poured hot and will set firm as it cools.

* Glaze: A glaze is a thin, watery icing that is poured over a cake to give it a shiny, smooth finish. It's usually made with sugar, water, and sometimes flavorings like lemon juice or vanilla extract.

* Simple syrup: A simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that is boiled until the sugar dissolves. It's often used as a glaze for cakes, as it adds sweetness and shine.

To be more specific, tell me:

* What kind of cake is it?

* What flavor are you looking for?

* What kind of texture do you want?
