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.

What is the difference between fondant icing and icing sugar?

Icing sugar is finely ground sugar, which when added to whisked egg whites makes Royal Icing. Royal Icing sugar is finely ground suger pre-mixed with dried, pasteurised egg white. This is good if you want to avoid the "risk" associated with raw eggs. However, the ratio of egg white to sugar is fixed and the only adjustment which can be made is to add water (or lemon juice/glycerine) to vary the texture.

You can! White sugar in an equal amount will work fine, but your cookies will be a little crisper than if they had been made with brown sugar.Or, if you have molasses on hand, add 2 tablespoons molasses to every cup of substituted white sugar and you will not be able to tell the difference.


How do you make white icing black?

To make a real black icing, take 2 cups of Wilton's ready-to-use buttercream, add 1/2 cup good quality cocoa (sift if it seems lumpy), 2 teaspoons of water, and 1 oz. Wilton black icing color. You will achieve a true, deep rich black color which is so popular for wedding cakes today, such as details for stringwork or embroidery work. For example, the Black Tie Affair Cake is topped with black buttercream cornelli lace. If you have added too much black color in the beginning and your buttercream seems to have somewhat of a bitter taste, I suggest adding either 2 tablespoons of cocoa or a flavoring such as cherry or orange, about 1 teaspoon, to 2 cups of icing.


Why does caster sugar have to be in a cake?

Caster sugar has very fine crystals, without being so fine to the extent where it absorbs a lot of water (e.g like icing sugar; icing sugar absorbs a lot of liquid and tends to clump together, which would result in brick-like cakes if it were used for that purpose) . The fineness of crystal means that it does not result in a "granular" texture when eaten (unlike granulated sugar) and gives a "lightness" which helps baked goods to rise. The fineness also helps the sugar to not sink in runny batters; it will remain evenly distributed. Having said that, granulated sugar does still work in baking if you have run out of caster sugar. It's just that caster is really the better option if it is available. But granulated is good for jams, a) it's cheaper, which is useful when using it in quantity, and b) supposedly it gives a "clearer" result than caster sugar.
