Icing Sugar Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert icing sugar from Cup to Cup (US).
Icing sugar is a finely milled white sugar with a light, silky texture. One metric cup weighs approximately 125 grams (4.41 oz) — noticeably lighter than granulated sugar because the fine particles don't pack as tightly. It's used in buttercreams, glazes, frostings, and as a dusting over cakes and pastries.
Icing sugar is so fine and airy that the amount you get in a cup can vary significantly depending on how it's scooped — measuring by weight gives far more consistent results. This page lets you convert icing sugar between grams, cups, tablespoons, and more so your recipes turn out reliably every time.
