Coloured sugar
one thing we like to do a lot of is baking…. cakes, cookies, you name it we’ll try it ;) the kiddos love to decorate the cupcakes, and we can get though pots and pots of sprinkles and coloured sugars {some of it ends up on the cakes – lots ends up on the side!!}
i realised it’d be easy to make our own coloured sugar and it’d be a lot cheaper too. all you need is a packet of sugar and food dye in whatever colour you like. perfect to sprinkle on cakes or cookies.
place your sugar in a bowl, and add a couple drops food colouring
mix the colouring through the sugar with your fingers until it’s all mixed in.
place into air tight containers and you’re done

April 3, 2012 at 10:27What a great tip! It looks at least as good as any store-bought sugar, probably even better. Those colors are really nice!

April 3, 2012 at 12:34Wow, I’ll have to give this a try! I always have food colouring around, but never coloured sugar when I want it! Now that looks to be solved!

April 3, 2012 at 14:40That’s awesome and so easy! One of my things to do before my next birthday (it’s crept up on me and I don’t have much time left!) is to bake a cake that actually tastes good so I might have to try this and it seems that you can’t really go wrong with it.
