When you remove the "clumps" in flour icing sugar brown sugar etc. usually using a sifter (usually around 1 cup size it looks like a metal mesh with really small holes) you shake the amout through the sifter and measure accordingly, however, if you don't have a sifter you could try to use your hands to get as many clumps out as possible

Does sifting sugar have the same result as sifting flour?
Flour is more of a powder and is easily compressed. Varying density means varying amounts of flour. As I understand it, sifting flour is done to slightly aerate the flour to give it a consistent density. A consistent density is favorable to accurate measurements being obtained when baking, since recipes call for specific amounts of ingredients for them to work. Sifting also removes lumps. Sugar, the basic processed granules you buy to bake with, is all of a consistent size. Sifting would tend to break up the granules into smaller pieces. This would make the sugar more dense and could throw off measurements as well as affect taste. Powdered sugar tastes different and acts slightly different than granule sugar. For these reason, sifting would not be recommended for sugar, though if it clumps, banging it around a bit to bust up the clumps should be fine.

Less dense. Sifting is usually done before measuring so there is less flour in the finished product. There are other factors that change the density of the product, but for the flour's part, sifting would make it less dense.
