Raw Caster Sugar

Ingredients: Cane sugar

CSR Raw Caster Sugar is one of baking’s best kept secrets! CSR Raw Caster Sugar combines the honey-like flavour of raw sugar with a finer crystal size that is ideal for baking. The smaller crystal size dissolves quickly and caramelises evenly, giving baked goods a lovely light golden brown finish.

Pure Icing Sugar

While no cake would be complete without it, icing sugar can also be used to make goodies such as shortbread, cream fillings, marshmallow, and fondant; anywhere a smooth, soft finished texture is required. CSR Pure Icing Sugar is the perfect icing sugar for all your traditional and decorative special icing needs. As CSR Pure Icing Sugar is 100% natural sugar this ensures the icing has a firm setting quality every time.
