Does icing sugar dissolve faster than caster sugar?
i think its because caster sugar has smaller particles!!:)
Is caster sugar sweeter than normal sugar?
Yes. Caster suger is finer than ordinary sugar so there is less air space between the crystals and more sugar for the same volume. But on a weight-by-weight basis, it should not be any sweeter than regular sugar.
Is caster sugar the same as powdered sugar?
No, caster sugar is fine-ground granulated sugar. Confectioner's sugar is a mix of ultra-fine sugar and a starch; it is sometimes called icing sugar.

How do you make butter cream icing with caster sugar?
Yes, you can. I use it instead of icing sugar (powdered sugar/confectioners sugar) because I think it tastes MUCH more delicous and less sweet and rich. But if you are going to use for whatever reason instead of icing sugar, I would recommend beating for much longer than you would with powdered sugar. Though, please do not get confused with caster sugar and granulated. In America they use granulated sugar in baking, and I think (I may be wrong) they call caster sugar super fine sugar. Also, you will get a better result if your caster sugar is newish. If not it can get gritty and become more-a-less like granulated. If so, put it into a sieve (sifter) and rub your fingers or spoon against it, this will get rid of chunks. So, yes you can :D

Why does caster sugar have to be in a cake?
Caster sugar has very fine crystals, without being so fine to the extent where it absorbs a lot of water (e.g like icing sugar; icing sugar absorbs a lot of liquid and tends to clump together, which would result in brick-like cakes if it were used for that purpose) . The fineness of crystal means that it does not result in a "granular" texture when eaten (unlike granulated sugar) and gives a "lightness" which helps baked goods to rise. The fineness also helps the sugar to not sink in runny batters; it will remain evenly distributed. Having said that, granulated sugar does still work in baking if you have run out of caster sugar. It's just that caster is really the better option if it is available. But granulated is good for jams, a) it's cheaper, which is useful when using it in quantity, and b) supposedly it gives a "clearer" result than caster sugar.
Will icing sugar and powdered sugar work the same for icing?
Powdered sugar, icing sugar and confectioners sugar are all the same thing. It is usually known as icing sugar in England and powdered sugar in the USA. Confectioners sugar is used as an international name.These are the same thing. Powdered sugar, icing sugar, and confectioners sugar are just different names for sugar than has been ground to a fine powder so that it dissolves very easily.
