Can you use granulated sugar instead of confectioner's & if so, how?
Confectioner's sugar is often cut with cornstarch to make it smoother & to aid in thickening icing son gets violently ill if I use cornstarch, so I have to find a way to use granulated sugar instead in icings. It gets pretty tiring having to do fancy icing or go without icing something. Please help!

No I don't think that you can replace confectioners sugar with granulated sugar. Have you ever felt the difference between the two. confectioners sugar is soft and fluffy and granulated is hard and... well like grains of sand. You can try to make it my the icing will probably be crunchy.

No - granulated sugar won't work. You should be able to get a powdered sugar without the starch though. Over here it's called icing mixture with the corn starch and icing sugar without. If your local supermarket doesn't have any, you might want to try a specialty store.
