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.
To make butter cream frosting thicker you should put it in the fridge, or beat it in a bowl over (not in) ice, or mix in a little more butter. If it is egg-white frosting put it in the top of a double boiler and beat it a little over simmering water. :)

No. Icing sugar is very finely ground, like a powder, so it dissolves in the butter and makes the frosting smooth. White sugar has little granules and if you use it in frosting your frosting will be grainy and crunchy.
no because white sugar is more clumped than powdered sugar and powdered sugar doesn't taste like sugar that much Powdered sugar is chemically not fundamentally different from regular sugar, just more finely ground. However, powdered sugar may contain additives to prevent clumping. you are exactly right!!!! by Terrier23
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.
powdered sugar is simply white table sugar that has been pulverized. traditional cane sugar (as opposed to beet sugar) is refined through charcoal, which some times consists of bone char from animals. vegans are opposed to this because it means an animal product is part of the process of creating the sugar. vegan powdered sugar is made with unrefined sugar that has been pulverized with corn starch, in order to simulate the consistency of non-vegan powdered sugar.
Icing sugar is normal white granulated sugar that has been powdered to be very very fine.
Sucrose is the chemical name for white sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar. It is used in most foods from candy to frozen dinners.
Properly baked cookies are attractive without additional embellishment. But a sprinkling of powdered or colored sugar can add to their appeal. A simple curly line of frosting in a contrasting color - white on chocolate, pink or chocolate on light cookies - is also dependably attractive.
Powdered sugar and gelatin and flavored with vanilla.
