Icing sugar, or confectioners sugar as it’s also known in the US, can have multiple uses.
Firstly it can be used for lightly dusting your work surface; this allows you to roll out your icing, fondant or sugarpaste, ensuring that it doesn’t stick to it.
It is also used in the ingredients to make a batch of buttercream.
Icing sugar is also one of the main ingredients in Royal Icing, and it is also used as a light dusting to decorate cakes.
