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.
