I went to make my little Easter cake and I didn't have any icing sugar; or powdered sugar. Icing sugar is just powdered sugar with corn starch added to prevent clumping. The funny thing is that I was in the market today and asked myself if I needed to get some icing sugar. I told myself no because I had a huge bag. However, I forgot that I had to toss that bag in the dustbin since it got contaminated. My first thought was that I would get up in the morning, get ready, and make a trip to the market. Which I don't really want to do since I have to be at sister #1's house at 12:00; eating at 13:00. What to do. Well, I decided to get the food processor out and see about making my own icing sugar from granulated sugar. The end result is good; I can still feel a few small grains of the granulated sugar. I may process a bit more tomorrow and call it good. It will do, no one really eats the cake anyway; it is more of an Easter tradition that I carried on from Mum. Would I make my own icing sugar in the future? No, it is much easier to just buy a bag of icing sugar at the market.
