I can't remember where I read this .......... but when you're making icing sugar you have to blend it on sp 8 /9 then let it cool. Then blend again, let it cool ........ repeat a few times. Apparently this is how commercial icing sugar is made. The blades get quite hot hence the cooling in between.  In saying this ...... I still buy icing sugar for certain things.

I think that's one of Tenina's hints Debbie - give it a go Anneli.  Like Deb I also buy icing sugar for certain things, I just find it easier and I don't go through much anyway.

Welcome to the forum, apart from the icing sugar how's everything else going Anneli?

I picked up that tip on the icing sugar from one of Tenina's classes.  She said commercial icing sugar is ground 10 times.   Like others I buy my icing sugar.  The other thing I have made in the TMX,  but have decided ,  not worth the effort , is Tahini.

Hi and welcome Anneli.  :)

Before I was married I worked at a place which made icing sugar - the sugar dust in that room was gross! So do try the gladwrap trick!!   :)  Also the cooling process is important but at work it actually just went through a few different machines to get ground properly, 1 tonne bags of sugar at a time.... :o  :-\ :)

Welcome to the forum Anneli.

I always make icing sugar even before tmx in my food processor - blitz for a minute, let cool and repeat until you have the desired texture.  :D
