Two words are used frosting and icing. Icing was used around 1769 in the confectionery sense, it is the gerund of ice.

Frosting and icing both refer to a cooked granulated sugar and egg white mixture spread on cakes and allowed to harden so that it resembled ice. Icing actually existed before frosting.
