Sugar: More Than Sweetness
Sugar plays multiple roles beyond sweetness — texture, color, moisture, and shelf life.
Common Types
- Granulated — The standard, clean sweetness
- Caster (superfine) — Dissolves faster, ideal for meringues
- Confectioners (powdered) — For frostings and dusting
- Light brown — Moisture and mild caramel flavor
- Dark brown — Deeper molasses flavor
- Muscovado — Intense, unrefined
- Demerara — Large crystals for toppings
Liquid Sweeteners
- Honey — Moisture and distinct flavor
- Maple syrup — Rich, complex sweetness
