Icing sugar, also called powdered sugar or confectioners sugar, is milled to a fine powder that dissolves instantly. It is the base for butter icing, royal icing, glace icing and fondant work, and it is ideal for dusting cakes, biscuits and pastries. Castor sugar is a finer crystal than granulated sugar, so it dissolves quickly into sponge cakes, meringues, mousses and whipped cream.
