Trader Joe's Organic Powdered Cane Sugar 1-Lb (Pack of 2) <br> <p> What is Powdered Sugar? <br> <p> Powdered sugar is the snowy white, soft, flowable product of granulated sugar, ground into a powdered form. It is sometimes referred to as confectioner’s sugar or icing sugar. <br> <p> Function It is principally used in frosting, cake icing, and other sugar cake-based decorations. Dusting is another use of confectioner’s sugar, to make the crusts of products more visually appealing, as well as adding a slight sweetness. <br> <p> In the baking industry, other than dusting, frosting and icing applications, powdered sugar is used in cookies to impart a very tender, delicate, melt-in-your mouth texture.
