There are many types of icing in this world such as gum paste [24], fondant [25], whipped cream [26], butter cream [27], ganache [28], royal icing[29], marzipan [30] and so much more.

Ingredient
1 cup Whipping Cream
1 cup dark chocolate
[31]
steps:
1. Heat the whipping cream (do not boil)
2. Pour the whipping cream onto the chocolate and stir slowly.
you can use the ganache at that very moment using a piping bag and a nozzle of you choice. And if you want to use the ganache to cover the whole cake, while in the process of making the ganache loose a couple of tablespoon of the chocolate so that the ganache mixture will become thinner.
