Is icing sugar same as fruit sugar?
No - icing sugar is made from glucose and is simply white sugar finely ground to make confectioner's sugar or powder sugar. It often has small amounts of cornflour added. It is used to dust baked goods or to make an icing or frosting by adding small amounts of liquid or fat.
Fruit sugar is made from fructose and is preferred by some people for dietary or allergy-related reasons. It is a form of granulated sugar. You could make icing sugar from fruit sugar by grinding it finely in a food processor and adding a small quantity of cornflour.
If you're baking a cake and have run out of sugar you could substitute the same weight or volume of fruit sugar or a smaller volume or the same weight of icing sugar (because icing sugar is more finely ground than granulated sugar the same weight of icing sugar wil occupy less volume).

How do you put batteries in easy bake frosting pen?
Ok, The battery compartment gets stuck shut to the point that it feel like it will break if you force it off. I just did it and it wasn't easy..but it's working now!
There are 2 deep set screws (on sides of on/off switch). Unscrew to the left several turns, they will not fully come out they just need to be loosened. Then use a butter knife and pry off the top at the horizontal seam. It will pop off into a "U" shaped piece. Insert 2 AA batteries and screw it back together. Yaay! No more little girls in tears! LOL.. I bought it used too!

How do you make buttercream icing?
* 1/2 cup butter or high-grade shortening * 1/2 tsp. vanilla or other flavoring * 1/4 tsp. salt * 4 cups powdered sugar * 4 tbs warm water * 2 tsp Flavoring (If Wanted)
Steps
# Soften the butter or shortening in a large, shallow bowl. You can heat the bowl by placing over a container of steaming hot water while you work with the butter. # Add the sugar slowly, while still kneeding the butter with your spoon. If you like, sprinkle the sugar in through a sifter. # Add the other ingredients, while stirring. # When the ingredients are throughly mixed, beat with an electric mixer on high until smooth and fluffy. # Use the spatula to lightly spread one layer onto your cake. It doesn't matter if you get crumbs in this layer. # Put the cake in the refrigerator to cool. # When the "crumb layer" is hardened, add another layer of frosting.
Can you make butter icing with royal icing sugar?
Royal icing and butter icing are completely different products. Royal icing is made with beaten egg whites (often as dry egg white powder) which break down when in contact with any fat or oil. Butter icing has a very high fat content, so the two types of icing are not compatible. If for some reason no sugar is available to make butter icing, it might be possible to reduce completely dry royal icing to a powder in a blender or food processor, then use that in place of powdered sugar for the butter icing. But that would be a very odd way of getting sugar by way of reverse engineering.
What gas in the air is used when burning icing sugar?
When burning icing sugar, the primary gas produced is carbon dioxide (CO2), along with water vapor (H2O). The combustion process involves the sugar reacting with oxygen (O2) from the air, which is consumed during the reaction. Incomplete combustion can also lead to the formation of other byproducts, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and soot, depending on the conditions of the burn.
