you add water to it and stir but do not add to much water otherwise it will be the consistency of water!
1 cup of confectioner's sugar is approximately 1/4 pound. You won't be able to make much icing, but you can divide the typical buttercream icing recipe by 4. The recipe would be 4 oz. butter, 1/4 tsp. vanilla, 1 c. confectioners sugar and 2 - 4 tsp. milk, depending on the consistency you want.
You proportionately reduce the recipe you are using to adapt the quantities to one cup of confectioner's sugar. This is done by (on a calculator) dividing the quantity of sugar that you have, by the quantity that you need - doing this in grams or oz is easiest, calculating in cups is more difficult. Doing this gives you a decimal number that you should use to multiply all the other ingredients which are needed for the recipe by. Use all the new quantities for the recipe, using one cup of sugar. This means you have rescaled (i.e reduced) the quantity of the recipe to cope with only one cup of sugar.
Frosting is made with sugar - usually confectioners' sugar - liquid and butter. Flour is not used in making frosting.
Confectioners milk is sweetened milk. Milk is often used with powdered sugar to make frosting or icing for cakes. Food items that are high in sugar content are confectionery items.
Frosting is not made with flour; it is most often made with powdered (confectioners') sugar and shortening, or some other sugar that is caramelized then whipped to spreading consistency.
Blend the softened butter and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer to create a smooth frosting. If you prefer not to use a vanilla bean, increase the extract to 1 1/2 teaspoons
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar is a basic ingredient to cream cheese frosting. Substitutions such as granulated table sugar, brown sugar or honey will not produce acceptable cream cheese frosting. In a pinch, it may be possible to process granulated white sugar in a blender or food processor until very fine. Then add a tablespoon of corn starch to each cup of very finely processed sugar to approximate powdered sugar.
Yes. "Seven Minute Frosting" is made with ordinary granulated sugar. See link for recipe. Probably better to make your way to the store and invest in a can of frosting--or forgo the frosting altogether.
Yes, you can use caster sugar to make buttercream icing. You will need to cream the butter and sugar until you get the correct texture.
Buttercream frosting or icing naturally has a cream colour from the butter in it. The more air beaten into it, the paler it will be, and the softer it will be. The yellow colour of pure butter is naturally stronger if the cows producing the milk are grass fed rather than grain fed. If a pure white frosting or icing is wanted, do not use butter or make a buttercream, but the creamy flavour will be missing.
To make a cream cheese frosting you need: 3 ounces[(1 package)] cream cheese 1 tbsp warm water not boiling hot ** 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 cups confectioners sugar beat cream cheese water and vanilla gradually add sugar and beat until smooth Let me know how it worked out also let me know if you liked it =)
to make fluffy frosting i would say loook for a frosting recipe that only uses egg whites no yolks like a 7 minute frosting sadly i don't have the frosting on me but it is a good one it takes a little work because you need the stove but its really good a similar one is a marshmellow frosting marshmallow frosting 3 egg whites 2 cups light corn syrup 1/2 tsp salt 2 cups sifted confectioners sugar 1 tbsp vanilla extract for 5 min on high beat the egg whites corn syrup and salt. then on low add the sugar and vanilla. let me know if it worked out how you wanted it to be =D
Sweet icing made from buttercream (butter and cream). One common recipe for buttercream includes RAW whipped egg whites, simple syrup (sugar and water), and butter. Flavorings can also be added, such as melted chocolate, to make chocolate buttercream.
