Grocery stores and low end bakeries do not make icings, they purchase commercial icings.

you can get 20X powdered sugar but only from commercial bakery suppliers.
For grain free I wouldn't use powdered sugar, the corn starch is a problem.

boil granulated sugar with a bit of corn syrup to soft ball stage, pour into a mixer and start stirring with the paddle until its cool, thats a fondant base, now you can just add add butter. No powdered sugar involved, no grittiness.

Or buy a small pail of cream fondant from amazon, its $18 for 2 lbs.

Vs $1.50 lb to cook your own.

or buy a 50lb cube for $51 from any commercial supplier.

Can 20X sugar be use in making American buttercream icing?

the finer the milling the greater the amount of corn starch required.
The more x's the more corn starch and the more gritty on the teeth.

Can 20X sugar be use in making American buttercream icing?

As far as I know, there’s no such thing as 20X powdered sugar. The finest grind commercially available is 14X, and the only known source for that is Indiana Sugars, which supplies the industrial market. You’d need to contact them directly to find out if they have a distributor who sells smaller quantities.

Even Cargill—the largest food processor in the U.S.—doesn’t produce powdered sugar finer than 12X.

12X is available through several suppliers:

• Domino 12X contains 3% cornstarch.

• Wholesome uses 3% organic tapioca starch instead of cornstarch.

• Batory Foods and other industrial suppliers typically offer 12X with 3% to 5% cornstarch, depending on application.

If I give it some thought, 20X powdered sugar isn’t really practical because there’s not much benefit in going finer than 14X. And when you consider how fine 12X and 14X are, by comparison 20x particles would be nearly twice as small, more like a starch than sugar. It would require so much anti-caking agent it would change the actual sugar percentage, texture and taste.



References that indicate 14x as the finest powdered sugar made.

Confectioners Sugar vs Powdered Sugar

Are confectioners’ sugar and powdered sugar the same product? While the two might be colloquially interchangeable, they’re not actually the same thing!

www.sugars.com

“Powdered sugar is granulated (think table) sugar processed and milled several times until it has ultimately been ground into a very fine powder. You can purchase powdered sugar that has been processed 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, or even 14 times….At Indiana Sugars, we carry 14x powdered sugar, considered “superfine” – the finest powdered sugar available.

Toolbox Talk: Icing Sugar

Icing sugar lies at the base of cookie decorating, be it with royal icing or glaze or buttercream. It was through Cookie Connection host Julia Usher’s comments about her teaching experiences in other countries that I realised that icing sugar isn’t the same all over the world...

cookieconnection.juliausher.com

“The scale ranged from 1X to 14X sugar, where the number indicated how many rounds of grinding the sugar had undergone (with 14X being the finest sugar, of course).
