Due to its ultra-fine texture, powdered sugar is primarily used for decorating cakes, cookies, and cupcakes, creating smooth and glossy glazes and coatings. It is also a key ingredient in making meringues, creams, and mousses, as its ability to dissolve easily ensures a smooth and creamy consistency. An interesting fact is that powdered sugar is commonly used in the making of fondant to cover cakes and for delicate decorations using a piping bag in baking. Additionally, it is often used to dust desserts such as doughnuts, churros, or cakes, giving them a sweet and visually appealing finish.
