Defo recommend if cant have sugar anymore
As someone who can’t have sugar anymore as recently diagnosed with diabetes, this is definitely a good substitute for the icing sugar especially if you add a flavouring ie lemon juice or coffee. I can now have my sweet fix now & again with our worry. Haven’t tried the caster sugar alternative yet, but have tried canderel sugarly definitely recommend although bit expensive, I always stock when on sale
Nope!
Spent the last 6hrs wondering what flavour was residing from this icing. Currently i believe it is a mix of dish soap and a nonbrand toothpaste. If you need a suger alternative icing this is definately not it. I scraped all the icing of the cakes I made, frankly the sweetner in toothpaste would have been better - and thats not great.
Absolutely revolting!
Absolutely gross! I used the Canderel caster sugar to bake a sponge cake - it came out with a harder texture than usual but tasted nice enough. Proceeded to make buttercream with this icing sugar substitute and it was just revolting! It didn't mix or spread well, texture-wise it was more like working with bicarb or something! But then the taste! Oh my, it was dreadful. At first it's just a sort of overpowering fake zingy hit, (like that first bite of chewing gum that makes your eyes water!), but then it dulls to a really nasty chemical aftertaste. I only tried a little bit but the taste really stays with you and made me feel quite nauseous - my son said the same thing. I also got an instant headache from that first rush which turned into a migraine by the next day so it wasn't the healthy alternative I'd hoped for! Will be throwing it away and trying something else next time.
