amazing
i want to use this for the three layer apple cake. will it go well? also if i make and ice the cake 2 days in advanced will it be okay? the three layer apple cake can be made four days in advanced with that icing but i dont know if this one is okay?
just so ya'll know... confectioner's sugar is POWDERED sugar and not GRANULATED. it's very grainy if you mix the two up. trust me, i know from experience.
can you use other frostings for this recipe?
is there a substitution for Cream Cheese? I dont have any in the house :(
dsyms1: One lb of Confectioner's sugar contains approx. 3 3/4 cups.
I am trying this recipe this weekend for my little cusins brithday... it should be really fun and a great way to celabrate!!
Hi.... Approx. 3-1/2 to 4....... start with 3-1/2 and add the remaining 1/2 cup to achieve the taste and consistency that you desire.

How many cups of confectioner's sugar is 1 pound?
I think it would be a great addition at the end of each recipe how to store the items and how long they can last - as with a good cookbook. Also, if things can be done in advance or frozen.
