the sweet confession that the cake underneath was never the point
means A sweet coating, usually of sugar mixed with liquid or fat, spread over cakes and pastries — and figuratively, a pleasing extra on top of something already good.
from Plainly from 'ice' plus '-ing': the verb 'to ice' meant to cover with something cold or glassy, and by the 18th century cooks were 'icing' cakes with a hard, glossy sugar crust that resembled a sheen of frost — hence the name. 'Ice' itself descends from Old English 'īs,' a deep Germanic root, a cousin of similar words across the northern tongues.
