I want to make a cake for my parents for the weekend. They've recently moved to the beach, and I am going to visit them the weekend and thought I'd take a cake. I wanted to do something a little different, so I was going to make a 3 layer cake (out of a white cake mix), and color the layers red, white, and blue. Anyways I am trying to find a good filling for the cake and found one that calls for icing sugar. What exactly is icing sugar? icon_confused.gif

It's a white soft powdery sugar...usually used to make icing. Sorry, that's the only way I know how to describe it...lol.

"Icing sugar" is another name for "confectioners sugar."

Confectioners sugar is white sugar that is ground extremely fine and has added cornstarch.

So, you need to buy "confectioners sugar" whenever you see that term.
