Powdered sugar is made out of a sugar that has been finely processed - it is, basically, granulated sugar that has been finely ground. Cornstarch is added to commercial powdered sugar to keep it from clumping and being pesky to sift.

originally sugar is harvested from the ground in large, rock like blocks, much like salt but from rivers rather than the sea, this is then ground into a powder and mixed with various other powders such as talcom powder and dandruff, and in certain cases cocaine, this is then marketed as 'icing sugar' and sold to the masses.

hope this helped

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.
