Can you pulverize the hell out of granulated sugar in a food processor? Have you got a fp? I wanna see what turns up here that doesn't have powdered sugar in it.

Ikea was Snowed InI remember when the first few Ikea's in the US opened, one was in Pittsburgh. My reaction was this will never fly in this town. Boy was I...
When I decorated cookies with precision and sophisticated artistry (I made that up) there was something called Flow Icing. Just Royal Icing thinned to a pourable state - thickish pourable. But it's still got powdered sugar in it. To do the color flow (that's what the technique was called) stuff , pipe the outline of the cookie with the regular royal icing (egg white and powdered sugar and flavoring), then thin some out and pipe it - or spoon on carefully - in the middle so it flows onto the surface of the cookie. Let it dry before getting fancy. Or sprinkle your sprinkles on while it's wet. Due to its absorbing moisture from the cookie, this stuff isn't as rock hard as a decoration made with it would be. But you still need powdered sugar. --
