Light soft brown sugar is a clumpy and tastes caramelly - you mainly use it in fruit cakes and the like.
Light muscavado sugar is much the same but more treacley
Soft brown sugar is very similar to light muscavado
brown sugar is more usually referred to as demerara and this is like little grains of crispy sugar and often used in coffee and on porridge. It is not so good in baking because it takes so long to dissolve. It's nice in crumble topping and for brulees though because of the crispiness.
I always get Golden Granulated Caster Sugar and find that it is fine whenever sugar (of whatever type) is called for. I never buy muscavado or anything and all my baking is usually fine. I use it in fruit cakes, scones, brownies etc etc. I even make it into icing sugar by blitzing it in the processor!Jane
