Brown Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar, sugar syrups

This popular sugar is used in many recipes, both savoury and sweet. A concentration of natural syrups gives it a soft natural caramel colour and aroma. Thanks to its delicious smooth caramel taste, it is often used in dessert recipes and sprinkled on porridge. CSR Brown Sugar is also ideal for adding sweetness to savoury dishes such as stir frys and sauces.

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.
