It is mostly used in foods such as cookies, candies and cakes
When Corn Syrup is added to food, the food tastes better and more sugary.
yes, equal amounts of both, then mix in mixer for 15 to 20 seconds
Because it makes it thicker.
No, icing sugar is incredibly fine ground up sugar. Cornstarch (although it looks similar) is cornflour; a type of flour made from corn kernals. Cornstarch is not 'sweet' in the same way that icing sugar is.
A little cornflour will do the trick.

Cornstarch is cornflour, just ground to a smaller diameter. If you have cornflour and a grinder, just grind it some more, just like you would grind crystallized sugar into icing sugar. Once you are done, use a thin sieve to filter out the remaining flour-size grain. The only type of cornflour that cannot be ground into proper starch is if it still contains the germs or skins of the kernels, but most corn flour already has these parts removed, for instance in order to extract maize oil.
No... I've tried it and it tasts really bad!
Icing sugar contains cornflour or wheat flour sometimes to make it lighter and to make it flow easier. The starch content would come from either of those.
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. It is used to dust baked goods or to make an icing or frosting by adding small amounts of liquid or fat. 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).
i would not use granulated sugar while making buttercream icing. i would only use icing sugar. icing sugar usually has cornstarch mixed in with the powdered sugar. even if you added cornstarch to granulated sugar it would still give you a completely different texture than icing sugar...it would feel very gritty.
If you don't mind having crunchy icing.
No, it's very finely ground sugar to which cornstarch is added to prevent lumping. It's also known as powdered sugar or icing sugar.Substitute: Mix 1 cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon corn starch in blender until powdery.
yes yes
Powdered sugar, icing sugar and confectioners sugar are all the same thing. It is usually known as icing sugar in England and powdered sugar in the USA. Confectioners sugar is used as an international name.These are the same thing. Powdered sugar, icing sugar, and confectioners sugar are just different names for sugar than has been ground to a fine powder so that it dissolves very easily.
