Carbohydrates are 4 calories/gram. Fats are 9 calories/gram. Frosting does not win.

I believe frosting is mostly fat by weight. Nevertheless butter beats it, pretty much by definition.

Looks like a >4:1 carb:fat ratio by weight.

But eating cake frosting by the spoonful is far easier and more pleasing than downing pure butter or olive oil.
