If you put the granulated sugar into your blender & turn it into powdered sugar you can use it. Just blend the amount the recipe needs. Like, if it says 1 cup powdered, use one cup granulated. The problem with using regular sugar is - the frosting will sweat. It will look ok at first but when it sits for a while the frosting will look like it has water puddles on it. If you plan to eat it soon after its made, that would be ok. But it shouldn't sit for very long. You might want to find a recipe that uses regular sugar.
Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where powdered sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
One delicious recipe that uses cookies with powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar is Russian Tea Cakes. These cookies are made with a buttery dough, rolled in powdered sugar, and baked until they are lightly golden. The powdered sugar gives them a delicate sweetness and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
If you accidentally use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar in a recipe, it can significantly affect the texture and consistency of the final product. Powdered sugar is much finer and contains a small amount of cornstarch, which helps prevent clumping. Granulated sugar, on the other hand, will not dissolve as easily and may result in a grainy texture. To salvage the recipe, you can try processing the granulated sugar in a food processor to make it finer, but the results may still not be the same as using powdered sugar.
Sure, you can use powdered sugar in Kool-Aid instead of granulated sugar, but be prepared for a sweeter drink since powdered sugar is more concentrated. Just make sure to mix it well to avoid any clumps at the bottom of your glass. Enjoy your sugar rush!
Granulated sugar is just sugar. Powdered sugar has corn starch in it so that it will stay as a powder and not lump.
Confectioner's Sugar (powdered sugar) has a completely different consistency and quality than granulated sugar. You cannot substitute one for the other.

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.
One cup of granulated sugar is equal to approximately 1 3/4 cups of packed powdered sugar.
Sugar beets can be turned into granulated sugar
i would not use granulated sugar while making buttercream icing. i would only use icing sugar. icing sugar usually has cornstarch mixed in with the powdered sugar. even if you added cornstarch to granulated sugar it would still give you a completely different texture than icing sugar...it would feel very gritty.
