There is always something I forget. Really, I try to have a well stocked pantry so I won't have a problem. I even go to the grocery store with a list. Then I go to cook and I realize I'm not as organized about this dinner making thing as I hoped to be. If I can fix the problem without making another trip and make it myself I'm good (if not I make the husband go after it)!
What is it this year? Well, we are celebrating the grand baby's birthday on Thanksgiving and I thought I had plenty of powdered sugar to make her cake. I buy huge bags at Sam's so I'll always have some ready. I was close, really close. The thickness though just wasn't there. I just need about 1/2 cup more. That's all.
It's really easy to make a little more of powdered sugar. I mixed 1/4 cup of sugar in my blender till it resembles powder sugar and that's it. I did this twice to make room for the sugar to expand a little. I told you it was easy!
I wouldn't want to make all the powdered sugar I needed but this made just enough to make my frosting thick enough to spread. Now, he can get the marshmallows later! 😊
Sorry about the picture quality. I found it really hard to take a picture of powdered sugar!
