Best Answer

You cannot make traditional icing with caster sugar. However, you can use caster sugar to make a glaze or fresh whipped cream. (In a pinch, you can also use instant pudding with a third of the liquid it calls for.)

Icing sugar is also called powdered or confectioner's sugar. You can make it by putting ordinary sugar in a blender until it is powdery, and adding a pinch of cornstarch to keep it from clumping.

Put the required amount of Castor Sugar into a food processor. That's all icing sugar is, really. =D

That's not an icing recipe.

Swiss buttercream and Italian buttercream are two examples of icing made with regular sugar. The method for making them is different, but the sugar is dissolved in water to different temperatures in each one and added to beaten butter and finally flavoring is added.

You can put regular granulated sugar in the blender on high for a few minutes, until as light and powdery as you need it.

Either whiz it in a blender or pound it in a mortar and pestle until fine and powdery as flour, then add 5% cornstarch to keep it from clumping

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).
