Types of frost flowers include needle ice, frost pillars, or frost columns, extruded from pores in the soil, and ice ribbons, rabbit frost, or rabbit ice, extruded from linear fissures in plant stems. [1] The term "ice flower" is also used as synonym for ice ribbons, but it may be used to describe the unrelated phenomenon of window frost as well.
By contrast, salt-water frost flowers are more common -- especially in cold, polar regions. [3] [5] Sea ice is often broken apart by winds, tides and currents, leading to open water ‘leads’ that are exposed to extremely cold air temperatures. When these leads freeze over, forming thin ice, frost flowers often form in dense concentrations.
Mock cream or buttercream is a simple buttercream made by creaming together butter and powdered sugar to the desired consistency and lightness. Some or all of the butter can be replaced with margarine, or shortening. [1] [2] A small amount of milk or cream is added to adjust the texture. Usually twice as much sugar as butter by weight is used.
Window frost (also called fern frost or ice flowers) forms when a glass pane is exposed to very cold air on the outside and warmer, moderately moist air on the inside. If the pane is a bad insulator (for example, if it is a single-pane window), water vapour condenses on the glass, forming frost patterns.
Tastee-Freez was founded in 1950 in Joliet, Illinois, by Leo S. Maranz and Harry Axene (formerly of Dairy Queen). [2] [3] Maranz invented a soft serve pump and freezer which enabled the product, and their Harlee Manufacturing Company (a portmanteau of Harry and Leo) produced the machines which franchisees would buy and use in their respective locations.

Freeze-drying is among the methods used to preserve animals in the field of taxidermy. When animals are preserved in this manner they are called "freeze-dried taxidermy" or "freeze-dried mounts". Freeze-drying is commonly used to preserve crustaceans, fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, and smaller mammals. [31]
How to Cake It is a digital web show on YouTube that posts videos showcasing Yolanda Gampp creating cakes that look like other objects, as well as baking tutorials. Her cake designs have been featured on various websites and in magazines.
Flash freezing is used in the food industry to quickly freeze perishable food items (see frozen food). In this case, food items are subjected to temperatures well below [clarification needed] the freezing point of water. Thus, smaller ice crystals are formed, causing less damage to cell membranes. [3]
