No, powdered sugar is not suitable for making hard candy. Hard candy requires granulated sugar because it needs to dissolve and then crystallize properly during cooking. Powdered sugar contains cornstarch, which can interfere with the candy-making process and prevent it from achieving the desired hard texture. For best results, stick to granulated sugar when making hard candy.

To fix hard brown sugar, place a slice of bread or a damp paper towel in the container with the sugar and seal it tightly. Leave it for a day or two to allow the moisture to soften the sugar.
To make traditional toffee, you will also need butter and possibly cream. Using just sugar and water may result in a hard caramel instead.
Yes, like all hydrocarbons. It's a bit hard to light, but it will burn (and make one heckuva mess, too).
Sugar doesn't smell bad at all. If it does, it is probably rotten; you are smelling compounds that are a byproduct of that rot.
It can. But other ingredients (like sugar and egg whites) can also make icing hard. It really just depends on the mix and specific ingredients in that type of icing.
First hard boil some sugar and water, then add the gelatin. This is a guess. I hope this works for you because I have made some rock hard fudge this way before by accident. The gelatin ought to make the sugar solution less brittle and more flexible when it cools.
Caipirinha is Brazil's national cocktail. To make a Caipirnha, you simply need cachaca, sugar, and lime. If you don't have cachaca (sugar cane and hard alchohol), you can use vodka in its place.
To soften hard brown sugar, place a slice of bread or a damp paper towel in the container with the sugar and seal it overnight. The moisture will help soften the sugar.
