Domino Confectioner's Sugar 16 oz
Written: May 13, 2011
Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros:Makes a terrific Royal icing. Very decorative.
Cons:None
The Bottom Line: Very decorative.
Domino's brands are well known and trusted. I do not do a lot of baking but when I do I love to decorate my cakes and cookies to my hearts content. I'm an artist and this is where I have the most fun.
I'm also a grandmother and I find the children and I can do marvelous things with confectioner's sugar. It makes the best and easiest Royal icing.
I also love the confectioner's sugars when used with stencils. It can create lovely designs. It enhances anything you bake. Once you shake some lovely confectioner's sugar on a donut, cake or cupcake it amps it up dramatically and makes it look pretty darn professional. It's wonderful making icing but when you wnat to skip that step dusting with confectioner's sugar will make your baked item look finished and give it a great taste.
Domino's Confectioner's Sugar 15 calories per teaspoon, and a serving size is 1/4 of a cup, which has 120 calories, no fat, 30 grams of carbohydrates and no protein which not really a surprise since this is a sugar product. The one pound box contains about 3 3/4 cups of sugar.
Confectioners sugar is also referred to as powdered sugar or icing sugar. Its cane sugar ground to a fine powder. "10-X powdered" means it is the finest ground. Cornstarch is added to prevent caking. It dissolves in liquid.Powdered sugar is generally mixed with cornstarch, wheat flour, or calcium carbonate improve its flow. You can make powdered sugar at home by putting normal granulated sugar in a coffee grinder or grinding it by hand in a mortar and pestle in a pinch.
You will often see XXX, XXXX, and 10X on the package, with more Xs indicating finer grains. In France its called sucre glace, in Britain it's icing sugar.Sugar is a 100% natural simple carbohydrate. It comes in a bright yellow 16 oz. box or you can buy it in big box stores in larger amounts.
