edit About Caster Sugar

Castor is a fine sugar, sold in the US as "superfine." It is finer than granulated sugar but coarser than powdered sugar and dissolves well in liquids, making it ideal for use in merengues. You can make your own by putting granulated sugar in a food processor for a minute or two, though let the sugar settle for a few minutes before opening the food processor- this method creates sugar dust.
