Powdered sugar

Powdered sugar is a very finely ground form of sugar that is synonymous with confectioner's sugar. In Britain it is known as icing sugar. It is used principally to make frosting , (British English: icing) and other cake decorations. It is often lightly dusted onto a baked good to add light sweetness and subtle decoration. It is generally mixed with cornstarch or flour, or calcium phosphate to improve its flowing ability and is not generally used to sweeten a beverage.
Caster sugar, generally unavailable in the United States, is a larger particle and so less "powdery".nl:Poedersuiker
