Just a note...the icing sugar usually contains a lot of corn starch...so if you

are allergic....put reg sugar in the blender and make your own...that's our way.

In Australia we have 2 choices for icing sugar and both are readily available in

all supermarkets:

 

 

- Pure icing sugar which is 100% sugar

 

- Icing mixture which is sugar and starch. One of the leading brands uses

tapioca starch. Not sure about other brands.

 

 

We also don't have the issues of sugar not being vegan due to the bone char

filters that many companies in the US use.
