: I saw that some bakers use something called icing sugar to make an icing that can be used as an alternative to buttercream icing. How is this icing sugar used what does it taste like and where can it be found?
In England, we call confectioners sugar, "icing sugar". They are both exactly the same. As an alternative to buttercream icing, I use "Frostin' Pride" which I buy from Smart & Final, you find it in the freezer.
