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.


Can you substitute powdered sugar with granulated sugar in a frosting recipe?

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.


Is it okay to use caster sugar instead of powdered sugar to make macaroons?

My recipe uses 6 oz icing sugar (powdered) and 3 oz of caster sugar and it works every time but I think the icing sugar (powdered) is important. Just checked 2 other recipes on www and they both use both types of sugar so I guess you should go and get some.

Can you use brown sugar instead for icing sugar for icing?

Not really; sugars other than powdered do not dissolve when used in a mixture that is not heated (such as icing). If the recipe already involves brown sugar, you can increase the quantity slightly without too many side-effects. However replacing powdered sugar (completely) with brown is likely to yield undesirable results; powdered sugar helps add 'smoothness' to icing, so without this you may end up with a very brown granular icing (that may not set adequately). If the recipe does not call for brown sugar at all, definitely do not add it.

What are the ingredient to use for fondant icing and how to use it?

Fondant icing typically requires powdered sugar, gelatin, glycerin, water, and corn syrup. To make it, dissolve gelatin in water, then mix it with corn syrup and glycerin. Gradually add powdered sugar until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Roll it out to cover cakes or shape it into decorations, ensuring the surface is dusted with cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent sticking.


Do you have to have powdered sugar in icing?

Powdered sugar is commonly used in icing because it dissolves easily, creating a smooth texture. However, it's not strictly necessary; other sweeteners, like granulated sugar or honey, can be used, though they may alter the consistency and flavor. For a different texture, you can also use cream cheese or butter as a base, depending on the type of icing you want to achieve. Ultimately, the choice of sweetener depends on the desired taste and consistency of the icing.


How do you make frosting without butter?

Powdered (confectioner's) sugar is a basic ingredient to cream cheese frosting. Substitutions such as granulated table sugar, brown sugar or honey will not produce acceptable cream cheese frosting. In a pinch, it may be possible to process granulated white sugar in a blender or food processor until very fine. Then add a tablespoon of corn starch to each cup of very finely processed sugar to approximate powdered sugar.


Is powdered sugar equivalent to granulated sugar?

No... Powdered sugar is icing sugar. Granulated sugar is white sugar that is in granules. Chemically they are identical. The difference is in the physical structure. You can create your own powdered sugar by using a blender and granulated sugar. It won't be as fine, but it will be closer.
