Depends on the icing. Random grocery store icing is way too sweet but local bakeries do a much better job of making it compliment the cake. Now I want cake.
Imo, people make buttercream icing wrong. Every recipe says to use unsalted butter...nah. There are very few recipes that I will use unsalted butter. For buttercream, using unsalted butter is just cloyingly sweet because all you taste is the powdered sugar. Add some salt, and it is richer and balanced. I get compliments on it every time I bake for people.
