No - icing sugar is made from glucose and is simply white sugar finely ground to make confectioner's sugar or powder sugar. It often has small amounts of cornflour added.

Fruit sugar is made from fructose and is preferred by some people for dietary or allergy-related reasons. It is a form of granulated sugar. You could make icing sugar from fruit sugar by grinding it finely in a food processor and adding a small quantity of cornflour. If you're baking a cake and have run out of sugar you could substitute the same weight or volume of fruit sugar or a smaller volume or the same weight of icing sugar (because icing sugar is more finely ground than granulated sugar the same weight of icing sugar wil occupy less volume).
Can icing sugar be used instead of granulated sugar for baking cake?
Not unless the cake recipe specifically calls for icing sugar. Granulated sugar has a specific weight to measured volume and will provide that specific quantity and sweetness to the cake. Icing sugar has a different weight to volume, different texture and a different level of sweetness. It is important to use the specific ingredient called for in the recipe being followed in order to obtain the proper result.
