Mine are jars from other sprinkles that I’d washed and saved.īecause of the cornstarch, my DIY sugar isn’t quite AS sparkly as Americolor sugar, but it still has a nice sheen and looks great on cookies. Store the sugar in airtight containers or decorative jars. Lay the bag on a flat surface and spread the sugar out looking for dark clumps and gently break them up with your fingers.Īfter the ingredients are well mixed pour the sugar onto a wax paper lined baking sheet and let it dry for a bit to get rid of any moisture that might remain. Mix them in the same way you did the color. I start with 1/4 of a teaspoon trying to add the smallest amount possible until the sugar “flows” like dry sugar. To remedy this I add a bit of cornstarch. The only trouble is the gel color makes it a little sticky. I decided mine wasn’t dark enough after a couple minutes of mixing, so I added a bit more color.Īfter a few more minutes the sugar finally reached the color I had in mind. Be easy enough that you don’t crush the sugar crystals.
Use your hands to knead the color into the sugar.
#Sparkling sugar for baking zip#
To begin, pour 1/2 a cup of sugar into the zip to bag and add a bit of color. gel food coloring like Wilton or Americolor.
After seeing my collection, you’d think I have enough, right?īut I’m not one for stopping at enough. Now that I’ve confessed my love of sanding sugar, I guess it’s okay to tell you how deep the obsession really runs.
