1. Dissolves Quickly Because it is fine, it mixes smoothly into: • cake batters • meringues • beverages • custards This improves texture and prevents graininess. 2. Better Baking Results Caster sugar gives: • lighter, fluffier cakes • smoother meringues • crisp, even cookies • stable whipped egg whites Pastry chefs prefer it for precise results. 3. Easy to Use It behaves just like granulated sugar, so you can generally substitute 1:1 in recipes. 4. Neutral Taste Offers clean sweetness without added flavours. ⸻ ❌ Negative Aspects of Caster Sugar 1. Still Refined Sugar (Health Impact) Caster sugar has the same health drawbacks as regular sugar: • increases blood sugar quickly • contributes to weight gain • increases risk of type 2 diabetes • contributes to tooth decay The fine texture does not make it healthier. 2. Can Cause Overconsumption Because it dissolves so easily, sweet foods made with caster sugar can be very smooth and palatable — making it easier to overeat desserts. 3. Not Suitable for All Recipes • Does not work well for caramelizing (granulated sugar is better). • Not suitable for icing/frosting (icing sugar is better). • Can change texture if used incorrectly in bread or heavy pastries. 4. More Expensive Caster sugar can cost slightly more than normal white sugar.
