Absolutely NOT, for the baking soda/powder.


Yes for the butter/shortening.


And for the glaze, most glazes DO use powdered sugar.
No on the baking powder


butter for shortening most times,It will always work, but some recipes don't want the butter flavor, for example my favorite sour cream cookie recipe.


Yes for a glaze, I always use powdered sugar.
butter for shortning, powdered sugar for granular, yes. baking powder for soda, no. sometimes the other ingredients in the recipe affect the powder/soda, like buttermilk or vinegar.
NO for the baking soda


Yes for the Shortnening, however cooking oil would work better
substitutions: regular sugar for powdered sugar - no. However, you can make your own powdered sugar by blending (in a blender) regular sugar and corn starch - 1 cup reg. sugar and 1 rounded tablespoon of cornstarch.


Baking powder and baking soda are two different chemicals and cannot be substituted, one for the other. Baking powder can be made with 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar powder, 1 tablespoon baking soda, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.


Yes, butter can be substituted for shortening in some recipes, not for everything.
