Last week a friend posted on her Facebook that she made powdered sugar. I had to try it! Now, I'm very picky about my powdered sugar especially when it comes to cake decorating. I only buy Domino 10x powdered sugar, so I know even though knowing how to make powdered sugar I won't do it too often. It is nice to know how in a pinch and can save a lot of money especially if you get granulated sugar on sale.
All you have to do is put a cup of sugar in the blender (I knew I was keeping that thing around for a reason) and turn it on for a few minutes.

I know hard to tell the difference in the pictures, but now I have cheap powdered sugar for French toast, keeping fondant from sticking, and making marshmallows! Yes, I made those too. They are so good, and I even forgot the vanilla extract. It's like eating a Peep without the sugar coating. Here is the recipe:

Dredge it with the powdered sugar:
Final product!
I used fondant cutters to make flower and heart marshmallows, but it left a lot of scraps. You can't reroll marshmallows. ;) But, it make a lot! 30 oz! That's almost enough to make 2 batches of marshmallow fondant, and that's a lot of fondant. I have not tried to make fondant out of it yet. I need to do more research b/c I think I could skip a step or two.
In other news, today I made English muffins, cinnamon rolls, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, and liquid dish soap. The verdict is still out on the liquid dish soap.
