Icing sugar is a fine, powdered form of white sugar.
Its texture is ideal for making icing, fondant and buttercreams as it dissolves quickly and easily and does not really require the application of heat.
Icing may 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 product.
Apart from its aesthetic functions, icing can also improve the flavour of a cake, as well as preserving it by sealing in moisture.
