Depends on what the sugar is for. If it is to sweeten then there will be no difference to flavour, but you will feel the sugar as you eat it. If it is to feed yeast then you can use it but you should use more yeast because it needs to work harder to get it's food, alternatively you could disolve the sugar in water.
Caster sugar has finer granules than regular (or "granulated") sugar. For cupcakes, you should be able to use regular sugar instead of castor without any detriment to the final product.
You should be able to substitute granulated sugar doe castor sugar without any significant detriment to the resulting product.
Castor sugar is a superfine form of regular granulated white sugar (also known as "berry sugar"). Substituting regular sugar in its place can be done for some recipes without any consequence. In other recipes, there can be a difference in the texture of the final product (i.e it may be more gritty instead of smooth).
Superfine sugar- or Bartender's sugar, is more course than powdered sugar. Superfine sugar is similar to castor sugar (and can substitute each other), but if I were to put it in order, Superfine would have the largest granules, and powdered sugar would have the smallest. Powdered sugar cannot be substituted with superfine sugar, or castor sugar, since it's too fine :3.
granulated sugar means less fine sugar. fine sugar is the same as castor sugar!
rwgular sugar is granulated sugar. the other kind is confectioner's sugar, or powdered sugar
Like granulated/table sugar, caster/or sugar comes from sugar cane or sugar beet Castor, or caster, sugar is exactly the same as regular granulated sugar, simply ground to a very fine flour-like consistency Please do not confuse castor/er sugar with confectioners, or icing or fondant sugar which contains 3% starch to prevent clumping You can make castor/er sugar yourself by blending or processing regular granulated table sugar for a few minutes Use it promptly to avoid clumping

Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where powdered sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
Yes, you can use castor sugar in frosting instead of confectioners' sugar, but the texture and sweetness may differ. Castor sugar is finer than granulated sugar but coarser than confectioners' sugar, so it may not dissolve as smoothly, potentially resulting in a grainier frosting. To achieve a creamy texture, you might need to blend the castor sugar longer or use a bit more liquid. However, for the best results in traditional frosting, confectioners' sugar is typically recommended due to its fine texture and added cornstarch for stability.
Castor sugar is often used in baking recipes because of its fine texture, which helps it dissolve quickly and evenly in batters and doughs. This results in a smoother texture in the final baked goods. Castor sugar is finer than granulated sugar but not as fine as powdered sugar. It also caramelizes more quickly than granulated sugar, which can affect the color and texture of baked goods.
The main difference between pure cane sugar and granulated sugar is that pure cane sugar is made from sugar cane, while granulated sugar can be made from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Pure cane sugar is often considered to have a slightly different flavor profile compared to granulated sugar.
