Kosher for Passover frosting can be used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and cookies during the holiday, but it must be made with ingredients that are free from chametz (leavened grains). Many traditional frostings contain ingredients such as corn syrup, glucose, or stabilizers that may not be permitted during Passover unless specifically certified. When buying prepared frosting or frosting mixes, it is best to choose products that clearly display a reliable Kosher for Passover certification (KFP) to ensure they meet Passover dietary requirements.
