confectioner's
Sweet shop's supply
Confectioner's is short for confectioner's sugar—very finely ground sugar with a small amount of cornstarch added to prevent clumping.
It dissolves quickly and produces smooth textures, making it ideal for frostings, glazes, and dusting pastries.
Also called powdered sugar or icing sugar: Dust the cake with confectioner's before serving.
