How many cups of powdered sugar equal 1 pound?
4 cups of powdered sugar should equal one pound.

You were right the first time there are 9 cups sifted powders sugar in a 2 lb bag so 1 lb is 4 1/2 cups if sifted it is a weight measure 16 ounces + 1 pound
Where you went wrong is a liquid measure of 8 ounces = 1 cup
so 16 ounces of liquid is 2 cups but that is not weight like powdered sugar.

How many cups powdered sugar did you use? if you used only 2 cups instead of 4 it will be too soft for your flowers tonight.

ok, i put in the 4 cups.. but i defintely needed 4 1/2 cups.. it was still a bit runny.. but it worked out ok... enough to learn with thanks!
thank you for correcting me msmeg
i always use my scale so i just picked up a bag of powdered sugar
1 cup of liquid = 8 oz
1 cup of dry= about 4 oz

Thanks for clarifying this msmeg! After I logged off the computer I thought about what I typed and I do remember using 4 cups of powdered sugar as 1 pound. I contradicted myself.
