Powdered sugar is an alternative name for Icing Sugar.

It’s another name for icing sugar. But any other sugar you can powder. I powder sometimes coconut palm sugar by mortar & pestle or by blender.

Good question now l also know the answer!

Powdered sugar is another name for icing sugar.

Thanks for posting this – I’ve wondered about this question too

Depoending on the country of origin it is probably castor sugar if included in the actual mixture and not as a topping. Castor Sugar is fine but not quite as powdery as Icing Sugar.

Thank you to everyone for your answers. You have certainly been a big help

I saw in the comments Powdered sugar is also called confectioner’s sugar or icing sugar that is good to know.

i thought that it was icing sugar lol

I depends what it is being used for. Is it IN cake, biscuits or something similar? If that is the case it could be castor sugar. If it is used in a type of topping It would be Icing Sugar/Icing Mixture.

Definitely icing sugar. It is called by different names in different countries.
Can be confusing when reading online recipes.

Thank you Kasey for that .
