The sugary white stuff on top of baked goods is:

Icing

Frosting

Sometimes icing, sometimes frosting, based on criteria I will explain in a comment.

Yummy. Does it really need a specific name?

The root cause of the Obesity Epidemic, which you are Deliberately Enabling with your talk of Delicious Baked Goods, you miserable Fat-Enabler, you.

As a being of pure intellect, I do not derive pleasure from sugary baked goods. Radio-button polls on the Internet are my equivalent of yummy baked treats.

Both are sugar-based, but icing is thinner -- usually an aggregation of powdered sugar, flavorings, mixed with milk or water -- while frosting is thicker/flufflier -- typically including butter or cream cheese.

Unfortunately, they ARE both yummy!

It depends on the texture. Frosting is sort of fluffy; icing is smoother.
