Sanding sugar is any baker’s ideal decorating add-on as the large, sparkling crystals do not dissolve from heat. Though commonly confused with coarse sugar, sanding sugar is larger and smoother than coarse. Sanding sugar is commonly colored for added effect.
Sanding sugar is made from dried sugar syrup. The remaining residue is screened and, often, colored to a desired hue.
There are minimal differences between sanding sugar and sparkling sugar. However, to an influential baker, utilizing the correct sugar is priceless. Sanding sugar is often utilized to garnish detailed or decorated baked goods and candies, while sparkling sugar adds a shimmery finish when tossed on top of any product.
Sanding & Specialty Sanding
Except when boiled, our sanding sugar is a large, crystalized sugar that does not dissolve when subject to heat. Due to its reflective nature, it is often called “decorating sugar” as bulk sanding sugar adds an attractive shimmer to batches of baked goods.
