'Children In Need' Bake Sale

'Children In Need' Bake Sale.

Today is 'Children In Need' day. It's a charity event raising money for needy children.
For this event we are trying to raise as much money at work as possible. One of the things we are doing is a 'bake sale'.
So I baked some chocolate cupcakes last night and took them into work today.

Here is what we did for 'Children In Need' last year

Hello there!
May i ask a few doubts that i have in mind..
1) Can i replace baking soda with baking powder? (what's the difference?)
2) Can i replace caster sugar with normal fine sugar? (Difference again?)
3) Does the vanilla you mentioned refers to vanilla essence?

Thank you! :)
