You can make any recipe that calls for granulated sugar because caster sugar can be used to replace granulated sugar.
Caster sugar is called "superfine" sugar in the United States. Do not confuse with confectioner's (powdered) sugar to which cornstarch has been added.
Yes, you can use caster sugar to make buttercream icing. You will need to cream the butter and sugar until you get the correct texture.
The same weight should be used for either. Caster sugar is just a finer grain so it will make a smoother textured result than using normal granulated sugar. Try using a blender on normal sugar to make it finer if you can't get caster sugar.

Berry flavoured caster sugar is quite hard to find, so i say, make it yourself. How to make it yourself: Place the desired berries in caster sugar overnight in the fridge. In the morning the flavour and juices will be in the cater sugar. Sift out any berries and theres you Berry flavoured caster sugar. :) Hope this helps!
Demerara sugar is unrefined, usually somewhat coarse but dry sugar. It is not brown sugar, which has clumps together. It is pale golden in color and can be called either raw sugar or turbinado sugar in the States. Caster sugar is a very fine grade granulated sugar, most often used for baking as it causes cakes to rise better, or for putting on fruits and berries as it melts faster. It is sometimes sold as berry sugar.I recently bought some demerara sugar which was ground up to caster grade. It worked very well and was delicious in a lemon cake.You can make your own caster sugar by whirling up granulated in a blender.
Yes, you can use caster sugar instead of granulated sugar. However, be careful on the measurements. Use a little less caster sugar. Caster sugar is finer granulated sugar. It is not as fine as powdered sugar, but it is in between granulated and powder. Caster sugar dissolves more easily,so it is very beneficial in making meringues.
Both work equally well for muffins. The only difference is that caster sugar is ground a little finer than granulated sugar. Granulated sugar might take a little longer to dissolve, but it will work equally well.
If baking: measure for measure, no (i.e., 1 T caster sugar, 1 T sweetener). Better approach is to find recipes that provide sweetening in other forms (honey, apple sauce or pureed fruit are frequently-used substitutions for sugar or sweetener). If you are working with a recipe you already have & want to recreate without sugar, try experimenting with the substitutions. Some cooks have devised ways of using sweetener in baked goods, but many believe the finished product has a "metallic" taste.
