Hints — one at a time

Hint 1 of 5

One word is the sweet decorative coating you'd spread over a cake or cinnamon roll.

Hint 3 of 5

A third is an old-fashioned adverb meaning "in a cheerful, lighthearted way."

Hint 4 of 5

The last describes something that has gotten up or gone up — like dough after proofing, or someone climbing out of bed.

Hint 5 of 5

The four words start with I, S, G, and R — no two share a first letter, and one of them repeats the same vowel twice.
