I don't think many recipes that need powdered sugar would work with a substitute, but you can make powdered sugar if you have a food processor. Put granulated sugar in the food processor and a little corn starch (about one teaspoon of corn starch to one cup of sugar). Run the food process for several minutes checking periodically to see if the sugar is fine enough. When it's powdery you can use it in your recipe.

Can you replace superfine sugar for powdered sugar?
Powdered sugar has a buffering agent in it that keeps it fluffy and prevents lumps. This means that powdered sugar has a finer texture but doesn't work well in clear drinks, as they won't remain clear, even when the sugar dissolves. Superfine sugar is pure sugar, intended to dissolve easily. It does however have a slightly crunchier texture. So, if you don't mind the texture change, you can substitute superfine when the recipe calls for powedered sugar, but not the other way around.

Can you substitute splenda for powdered sugar?
Personally I would not. Powdered sugar and Splenda have two unique and different textures and tastes, meaning that you should follow the recipe; if it calls for using powdered sugar to make something and not to dust or to top it with. However instead of topping something in powdered sugar I would use Splenda, even though I believe it is not the best thing for you, instead of powdered sugar since it has no calories-I mean why should you make something that is weighed down in saturated fat and calories even worse for you by adding more sugar that is just finer? I would always add Splenda since it has 0 calories and fat.EDIT: There are easons other than calories to use Splenda-- ever hear of diabetes?You can make your own powdered Splenda-- For every 3/4 cup of Splenda, add 2 TBSP corn starch. Put into a blender and pulse until you have the correct consistency.
Can you use granulated sugar instead of powerderd?
Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where powdered sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
