Yesterday, I needed to frost a Mother's Day cake but discovered that I didn't have enough icing sugar to complete the job. So I put some granulated white sugar into my coffee grinder and ground it up finer. It worked OK - it was a little bit grainier than the real thing - but it did work.

It wound up being a teeny bit coffee flavour, but that actually went quite well with the chocolate cake it was spread on.

Has anyone else ever tried this? And has anyone got any better recommendations for an icing sugar substitute?
