should the confectioners sugar be measured before or after siftage?

A little lesson on reading your recipe. If it reads, "1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar," then it means to sift and then measure. If it said, "1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted," then it means to sift AFTER measuring. This holds true for all recipes, not just ones I write.

A little tip with this recipe and the confectioners' sugar: 1 pound of confectioners' sugar is equal to 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar. Because you're going for consistency with this recipe, a complete accurate measurement is not that important. I usually just end up dumping 2 1-pound bags in and a little more than half of a third bag. I then adjust the consistency with the amount of cream I add.
