Pillsbury frosting typically contains around 15-20 grams of sugar per serving, which is usually about two tablespoons. The exact amount can vary depending on the specific flavor and type of frosting. Always check the nutrition label on the packaging for the most accurate information.
No, the frosting has lots of preservatives in it and doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Frosting is made with sugar - usually confectioners' sugar - liquid and butter. Flour is not used in making frosting.
(Referring to most of the Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Frosting flavors) No. Here are the typical list of ingredients as of 2013: SUGAR, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN AND COTTONSEED OILS, WATER, CORN SYRUP, CORN STARCH. CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: SALT, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, ARTIFICIAL COLORS, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, POLYSORBATE 60, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SOY LECITHIN, CITRIC ACID. (Sorry about the Caps.) However, the Coconut Pecan-flavored frosting may be dairy because it has dextrose, which is a dairy product.
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.
obviously it wouldn't matter, they are both similar. frosting has more calories and more sugar.
Frosting.
Either but frosting. Or add a small spoonful of water to confectioners sugar and mix until dissolved into a frosting.
Yes, you can use powdered sugar in frosting instead of white sugar. In fact, powdered sugar is often preferred for frostings because it dissolves easily and creates a smooth texture. Just be aware that using powdered sugar will result in a sweeter frosting, so you may need to adjust the amount to suit your taste.
You can thicken frosting without using powdered sugar by adding cornstarch or cream cheese to achieve the desired consistency.
The frosting of a poptarts is mostly refined sugar. "Dry" sugar melts at a higher temperature than "wet" sugar (wet like regular cake frosting with water and fat mixed in). Poptarts frosting is more likely to burn before melting, but it will eventually melt given enough heat and enough time.
Frosting crystallizes primarily due to the formation of sugar crystals when the sugar syrup cools too quickly or when there's not enough moisture. This can happen if the frosting is overcooked, or if it’s stirred too vigorously, which can introduce air and create a grainy texture. Additionally, using granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar can increase the likelihood of crystallization. To prevent this, it's important to maintain the right temperature and technique when preparing the frosting.
