Did You Know – Powdered Sugar
Do you know what it means, and the difference, between 6-X and 10-X on Powdered Sugar bags?
The “X” designations are derived from the mesh sizes of the screens used to separate powdered sugar into various sizes. Thus, 6X would have a larger particle size, whereas 10X would have a smaller particle size. The larger the number the finer the powdered sugar will be.

Happy Holidays, Diane! Thanks for another great information. Here powdered sugar is mostly used for decorating cakes and cookies. 🙂 Best wishes, Michael P.S.: In the USA you are not so spoiled in packaging design.;-) Here even powdered sugar is packed in design packs.Of course, to sell this more expensive.Lol

Thank you Michael! Of course they do whatever they can to get more money. Much cheaper to make my own and it’s ready in a couple of minutes.

Great Charlotte! Isn’t funny how we can look at the bag and see the 10X and not know what it means? It was new for me too!

I did because years ago I took Wilton cake decorating class and the instructor said it meant how many times it was sifted, wrong! Lol

You’re welcome, I have never seen anything but 10X but I never really buy anything but Domino’s. I don’t even sift it when I make my own. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Bernadette! ❤️

So it doesn’t mean sugar level. 😆 that would’ve been my guess.

Haha good guess! I was told years ago, from a Wilton cake decorating instructor, it meant how many times it was sifted. After researching with Domino I learned the real reason. I guess you are suppose to use different fineness for different things like icing.
