ABOUT ICING SUGAR
Icing sugar is also known as powdered sugar or confectioners' Sugar. Like I mentioned above it is made of finely granulated sugar and cornflour (to prevent lumps).
USES OF ICING SUGAR
Icing sugar can be used for decorative purposes such ass toppings on cakes, biscuits and pastries.
Icing sugar may also be used between layers in a cake as a filling or it may be used to completely or partially cover the outside of a cake or other baked products.
om its aesthetic functions, icing can also improve the flavour of a cake, as well as preserving it by sealing in moisture.
When used to make Icing and buttercream, it dissolves quickly and easily and also does not require the use of heat to melt it.
It provides biscuits with fine structure/texture.
It is suitable as a basis for glazing mass and (pre)mixes for bakeries.
It improves the flavour and texture of butter creams and chocolate.
