no, they're usually non-dairy whipped toppings. and they use these because they hold for longer periods of time than dairy products ever could. even though they usually taste awful.

Store cakes can be frosted with either icing (that sugar/shortening or butter mix) or a type of whipped cream. In that case, it's usually a combination of whipped cream and a "stabilizer". The stabilizer is usually a sort of thick "gelled" corn syrup that makes the whipped cream hold it's shape and last longer.

No, it's sugar and shortening, but let me tell you something gross just because I can.
I used to work for Timmy's in the kitchen. While the topping was real whipped cream, every few days we would scrape the top off of the cakes and re-decorate them. Keep in mind please that this was a very clean and healthy place to work and eat. And yet we still did this.
Gross, no?

For the cakes they normally have on display (not refrigerated) it's usually a shortening and powdered suger combination.
