Anyone know what we call confectioners sugar in the uk....Ive never used a recipe thats said confectioners sugar before, usually theyve just said sugar...so was just wondering if confectioners sugar is special or different?? Is that what we'd call caster sugar or granulated sugar?? What does it look like...can anyone help? thanks

I don't know what it's called in the UK, but I can describe confectioners' sugar - it's also called powdered sugar, and it's super-fine, with a light, powdery texture similar to corn flour (cornstarch). It's definitely not granulated. Maybe that helps a tiny bit?

I remeber being confused looking at English recipes one time but I figured out that you call confectioner's sugar- Icing Sugar.
Here's the website I'd found too British/US Equivalents
I hope that helps!! Love the new pic by the way!

Thanks brit thats great...really helpful...Ill make sure I use that website if I ever get stuck! So do you guys mean that powdered sugar is the same as confectioners sugar? Over here we only call that icing sugar you see...so confusing how the english language is so different in other countries!
