Finish, as a cake (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

frost

'finish as a cake' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for frost that I've seen before include "Ice crystals forming a white deposit" , "Robert ---, US poet" , "Chilly feeling" , "Frozen deposit" , "Coldness of manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
