Can you help translate this ingredient from a French recipe?

Question

The recipe calls for:
2 c. à soupe de kirsch
1 c. à soupe de sucre glace

What does the "c. à" part mean?

Answer 1

2 tablespoons kirsch
1 tablespoon icing sugar

Answer 2

2 soup spoons of kirsch
1 soup spoon of icing sugar

I think that a french 'cuile a soupe' equals a dessert spoon.

A 'soup spoon' or cuile a soupe is a measurement...like a tablespoon.

Answer 3

"c" stands for "spoon"
"à" stands for in this case "of"
therefore recipe would read

2 tablespoons of kirsch
1 tablespoon of icing sugar

Answer 4

Había comprado varias veces de sitios web memorias RAM para mí y para mis amigos, lo último que he comprado ha sido una memoria de 4Gb para mi portátil Apple, una memoria excelente, además de ser súper fácil su instalación, la diferencia con estos RAM es muy clara, mejores gráficos y mejor rendimiento de mi portátil, excelente compra.

Answer 5

The accented "a" means "of".

Not sure what the "c" is, but it's a form of measurement. I can't think of any French quantities of measurement that start with a "c".
