Icing sugar is also known as confectioner's or powdered sugar. It comes in different grades of fineness, 10X often being the highest grade found on grocery shelves. Whatever the grade, it makes for smooth icings, especially when sifted and combined with cream cheese. It also makes an excellent drizzle frosting -- as for sticky buns or pound cake -- when combined with milk, cream or fruit juice.
Fondant icing is not really an icing but a sugar, and it's 100x finer than confectioner's sugar. It is used to make fondant, an old-fashioned kind of candy that is easy to make and has a very firm texture, almost like modeling clay. Kept in the refrigerator, fondant lasts for months. It can be flavored with extracts and colored with food coloring. Its unique texture means it can be molded around nuts or candied fruit, and dipped in chocolate and rolled in cocoa or coconut... the possibilities are endless. It makes for very special candies that are pretty and taste good, too.
