If the powdered sugar is packaged in a plastic bag, there is no need to sift it. If it's in a box or if you buy the huge 25 lb. paper bags of it at Sam's or Costco, then it does need to be sifted. If packaged in cardboard or paper, moisture gets into it and causes lumps. This isn't a factor if packaged in plastic. I buy it in 7 lb. bags at Sam's, and I never sift it.

: For those of you who use powdered sugar-based buttercreams, do you sift your powdered sugar or not?

I always have, but I get so tired of doing it...but I don't think I've every done it any other way!
