It is the grade bakers specify when a frosting, glaze, or finishing dust has to read completely smooth, with no grit carrying through to the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003ePowdered sugar and confectioners sugar are two names for the same ingredient, produced by grinding granulated sugar down into a fine powder and screening it to a target particle size. Domino runs that screening at three levels, and 12X sits at the fine end of the range. The bulk 50 lb bag is the format built for production volume, whether that is a wholesale bakery turning out buttercream and fudge in batches or a foodservice operation dusting pastries through a full service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"full_description\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding the X Grades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe X number attached to powdered sugar is a granulation grade, not a measure of sweetness, purity, or quality. The designations come from the mesh sizes of the screens used to sort ground sugar into different particle sizes, so a higher number means a finer powder. Domino offers powdered sugar in three grades, and they rank as follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e12X is the finest particle size of the three\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e10X falls in the middle and is the most widely stocked grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e6X is the coarsest of the three\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eBecause 12X is the finest of the three, it is the grade to order in bulk when the finished texture matters more than anything else. A coarser grind can leave a faint sandy feel in an icing that a fine grind will not, and that difference shows up most in applications where the sugar is never fully dissolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCulinary Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe fine granulation makes bulk Domino 12X powdered sugar a natural fit for anything that has to be smooth on the palate or clean on the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eFrostings and buttercream, where the sugar is creamed into fat rather than dissolved\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eGlazes that need to set with an even surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eFudge and other confections built on a fine sugar base\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eLight dusting over pastries, fruit, and plated desserts for a finishing layer of sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe range of uses is part of why powdered sugar moves so well as a wholesale staple.

A finer powder disperses into butter or shortening with less resistance and finishes smoother in the bowl and on the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eIn glazes, the same fineness helps the sugar go into solution evenly, which supports a clean surface rather than a streaked or grainy one. For dusting work, a fine grind sits lighter on the surface and spreads more evenly across a pastry or a plate than a coarser powder does. Consistency across bulk bags matters here, since a wholesale kitchen is repeating the same formula shift after shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eDomino 12X powdered sugar is a pure cane product with a small amount of cornstarch included. The cornstarch is a functional addition rather than a filler, working to prevent caking so the sugar stays free flowing in the bulk bag and through storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe powder is white, neutral in flavor, and carries the exceptionally smooth texture Domino builds the powdered line around. Because it is refined cane sugar rather than a blended or specialty sweetener, it behaves as a straightforward raw ingredient in whatever formula it goes into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing and Production\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eDomino Foods refines cane sugar, and the powdered grades are ground down from that refined cane.
