No, it will not give you the consistency you want.
no.
You can make granulated sugar into powder, if you have a blender or anything like it. Just grind it until super fine.
you could, but the consistency you want will not be there. Take regular sugar and hit high speed on your food processor until you have the amount of sugar you need.
I wouldn't reccomend it, but you can put your reg sugar in a blender or chopper and make into powdered sugar to use.
It will have a much smoother texture and taste like icing is supposed to if you use icing sugar.
Sweetie, it depends. Are you asking about substituting granular for powdered sugar? ... Or just mixing granular with the cheese?
I'm presuming you already know that you need to put the cream cheese in the icing....
Superfine/ dessert sugar maybe, but cane sugar will be grainy
Not if the recipe calls for powdered sugar. Regular sugar would make it grainy and it just wouldn't work out for you.
NO! Please use powdered sugar or it will still be grainy when you're done. How much depends on how much you're going to need, keep adding slowly until it's the consistency you want.
you should use powder sugar
i just made some cream cheese frosting yesterday and it came out good
I have when I've had to and the results were fine. Just add slowly until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust if necessary.
NO, you will ruin your icing. When I was a young cook/baker/candy maker, I tried all kinds of things and found one TRUE thing. FOLLOW THE RECIPE EXACTLY!!!! ( and don't cook from the tv ) Pay attention. One of my early downfalls.
As much as you want or appreciate
Try this-
1 cup granulated sugar
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Blend with an electric mixer or mix yourself (it will be harder, though)
