In International spanish:
El betun del pastel would be literal, if you want it to mean the same as in english you would say:
la cereza en el pastel.

The icing of the cake translates in spanish as 'Suspiro'. That's how we call it in my country. But I thing it has different names depending of the region. Hope this helps thoug.
The term 'Alcorza' is apparently right, I looked it up in the spanish diccionary and it means the same thing as 'Suspiro'.

In many countries of South America it is called "baño de azúcar".
And, regarding the double meaning would be " la guinda en el pastel".

"Alcorza encima del pastel" (but this is a literal translation, and does not convey the double meaning in English, for which one rendering might be "gratificación" (extra bonus).

Depends in the country Elisa, it is correct to say:
*betún
*merengue
*azucarado
The common one is betún. Take care!â

The proper term to use would be "Azucarado", but in PR, we all say "Frosting!"
