I've read about different kinds of powdered sugar -- some being finer than others, but I've only used C+H.

What others are finer? Where can I find them? icon_confused.gificon_confused.gif

Are they really that much better? Would they be better for royal icing, bc, fondant?

You want powdered sugar that is labeled 10x-means it is sifted 10 times. You also want to be sure you get cane sugar, not beet sugar. C&H is very good PS.

If you want sugar more fine, just sift it more. It makes a difference if you are doing very fine detail with a very small tip. PS must be sifted through a very fine strainer or nylon stocking to remove any lumps that might clog the tiny tips.
