Comments

Tip : For a delicious touch coat the surface with a little melted and cooled dark chocolate.

Caster Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar

Caster sugar dissolves easily so it is ideal for meringues, puddings, jellies and cake mixes. When used in baking, the smaller sugar crystals caramelise evenly so it produces a fine golden colour in the finished product.
Being a superfine white sugar it can be used as a dry topping, often sprinkled over fruits or baked goods as a light dusting finish.

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.
