Icing sugar and fruit sugar (often referring to fruit-derived sugars like fructose or fruit juice concentrates) are not direct substitutes due to their different compositions and uses. Icing sugar is a finely powdered form of sucrose, ideal for frosting and baking, while fruit sugar can affect flavor and moisture content. If you're looking for a sweetener to use in a recipe, consider the intended flavor and texture, as well as how each sugar interacts with other ingredients.

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).
