Is icing sugar same as fruit sugar?
No - icing sugar is made from glucose and is simply white sugar finely ground to make confectioner's sugar or powder sugar. It often has small amounts of cornflour added. It is used to dust baked goods or to make an icing or frosting by adding small amounts of liquid or fat. Fruit sugar is made from fructose and is preferred by some people for dietary or allergy-related reasons. It is a form of granulated sugar. You could make icing sugar from fruit sugar by grinding it finely in a food processor and adding a small quantity of cornflour. If you're baking a cake and have run out of sugar you could substitute the same weight or volume of fruit sugar or a smaller volume or the same weight of icing sugar (because icing sugar is more finely ground than granulated sugar the same weight of icing sugar wil occupy less volume).

Can you replace caster sugar with icing sugar in baking cookies?
In some cases yes, but not if you're making icing. Icing sugar is far finer grained, and as such caster sugar will not be an adequate replacement in this case. (Your icing will be granular and not set properly). You may be able to if it's a meringue recipe, but you'd be better off finding a recipe that does not use icing sugar to begin with.

What can you use as a substitute for sugar?
if you really really really just HAVE to use a substitute, icing sugar or brown sugar may work, depending on what you are making.hope that helps.You can use honey. I use honey instead of sugar to make corn bread. I also put it spaghetti sauce, fruit bowls, and coffee, and oatmeal. You can use it to make a great syrup for canning fruit. You can also use the various brands of prepared stevia crystals. Honey is way more expensive than sugar, so you're not as prone to use as much of it as often, which, to quote Martha Stewart, "is a good thing."
