This recipe is a lifesaver! I always think I have enough powdered sugar for my recipes. I never do. Super easy to whip up to finish my frosting recipes. Thank you for posting this!

My mind was BLOWN I could make this myself! And given that we have a giant bag of sugar from Costco, I'm so happy to use it to make what I need, not buy more!

Oh my gosh, thank you for this recipe! Emma (my 15 year old daughter) was having a fit a while back because she wanted some kind of dessert, but we didn't have powdered sugar. I remembered you had a post on how to DIY it, so I sent her to your site. She was so freaking proud of herself for making powdered sugar! Thanks for that!
