Does anyone use organic powdered sugar? Are there any problems using it?? I am a WMI and one of my students is having problems making the buttercream recipe using organic sugar.

never used it.
Bump!

OMG--problems, problems, problems from this stuff! I rarely just pitch something that I'm not happyt with--I'll tweak it until I get it to work--well, this stuff is UN-TWEAKABLE!

I made a batch of buttercream with it and it was sticky (in an un-buttercream way), had "shards" of sugar in it, it was yellowish grey....need I go on.

I had about 6lbs. of it and I threw it all in the trash.

Tell her to buy GOOD powdered sugar--no beet sugar-- and see the light!

Thanks...I have taught for 14 years and I find some students have their own way of doing things no matter what you tell them. I once had a student ARGUE with me that there were 2 teaspoons in a tablespoon..I finally had to show her a cookbook with the correct amounts. I just try to help them see that using the correct ingredients will give them the results they are looking for.
