Sugar<\/a> powder refers to refined sugar that has been ground into a very fine powder. It is known by several common names including powdered sugar<\/a>, confectioners' sugar, 10X sugar, and icing sugar<\/a>. While often used interchangeably, there are some minor differences between the various types of sugar powder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Powdered sugar<\/strong> is the most common type found in home kitchens and grocery stores. It consists of finely ground granulated sugar mixed with a small amount of cornstarch<\/a>, usually 3-5%. The cornstarch is added as an anti-caking agent to prevent clumping. Powdered sugar is smooth, dry, and free-flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confectioners' sugar<\/strong> is another name for powdered sugar used in the United States. There is no difference between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icing sugar<\/strong> is the British and Canadian name for powdered sugar. Again, it is the same as powdered sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10X sugar<\/strong> refers to how many times finer powdered sugar is compared to granulated sugar. So it is just another name derived from the fineness of the powdered sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
