Frosting-made with solid fat and sugar
Icing- made with sugar and liquid
Glaze- made with cooked sugar or oil, liquid and chocolate
regionally they may be interchangable but as a rule of thumb.
Frosting is applied with a bowl knife or pastry bag as on a cake, gateau, cup cake or torte.
Icing is poured over as a design in itsself as on pound cake or danish.
Glaze would cover the item with a liquid that hardens ie: poured fondant or chocolate glaze on petite four or torte.
