Soft Icing Mixture

Ingredients: cane sugar, starch (Tapioca)

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 Soft Icing Mixture is ideal for your favourite cakes and biscuits that need a softer setting mixture.

White Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar

Here's one we all know and love! The uniform size of the sugar crystals gives you a regular texture and consistency, making it the perfect ingredient for baking and sweets.
