Are you even baking if your kitchen isn’t covered in icing sugar? A staple ingredient for all baking when whipping up deliciousness.
We love Silver Spoon Icing Sugar as it is the only sugar homegrown in the East of England using sugar beets.
This fine, refined white icing sugar, helps blend the fluffiest of buttercream icing to top your cupcakes and fill your Victoria Sponges.&nbsp;
It is so versatile that with this tiniest touch of water it can transform into to smooth velvety icing to flood ice your biscuits or drizzle over your cakes. With its crisp white finish, it is the perfect blank canvas to colour, flavour and personalise to suit your individual baking style.
