Icing sugar, also known as powdered sugar or confectioner’s sugar, is made by finely grinding granulated sugar until it is a very fine powder.

Icing sugar, as the name suggests, is used in icings, confections, drinks etc. Its fine texture makes icing sugar ideal for dusting over cakes, pies and pastries to sweeten as well as to add an attractive decorative touch. It is also used to make icings and fondants for cakes and sweets such as peppermint creams.
