  • Because I have alot of truffles to decorate. I have found it to get very expensive to buy the little jars of colored sprinkles. Also I have found that using Gel coloring works alot better than food coloring. Becuse then your sugar isn't wet once done. With the Gel color you can use on cookies, cakes, truffles etc as soon as you are done.

    This video saved my ass today. I was running out of colored sugar. I tried it with the "regular sugar" and it was very fine. I was looking for a coarser consistency, so I used the "cane sugar" and that worked and looked just like what they have in the store. It was a little sticky so I've got it on trays drying over night. Thank you!!! :) You're a lifesaver.

    This type of sugar is hard to find (and super expensive!) in the UK. Thank you for making this video, off to make coloured sugar now for Christmas cookies!

    Oh it is wonderful. I have all kinds of colors. I just save the bottles from the ones I bought at the store and just keep filling them up. Or you can use cheap salt and pepper shakers. :)

    Thanx for the idea. That is how you make bath salts too, just grab a box of Epsom salts from your local store, a tiny bottle of oil essence that you buy from china town, or some other shop that has it (make sure it is in a brown bottle) and some food coloring of you choice, just poor the Epsom salts in a bucket, ad 1 teaspoon of oil, couple of drops food coloring (depending on how dark you want it) and just mix it all in with a spoon. Leave to dry for 10 min and bottle it. Enjoy.

    Learned this from my Mum, who learned it from HER Mum: spread some granulated sugar out on a piece of waxed paper. Drop a few drops of food coloring on it. Take the back of a fork and just work the color in (takes a few minutes) until color is even. Leave the sugar spread out until it's dry, keep in a ziplock bag. This method takes a couple of minutes and the color is perfectly even, no darker dots.

  • @gingerwolff3427

    awesome! No baking, no drying time, just a lil elbow grease and you have color! Oh and for those who say yellow, yes, it looks yellow on camera, due to a bunch of scientific reasons I won't bore you with. However, it is more of a lime green when you see it in person. For a more true green (Christmas Green) try adding more green food coloring, adjusting your colors with a little blue and yellow until you achieve the desired color. Be sure to write down how many drops you put in so you can recreate the same shade. Thanks again for the great video!

    Hi thanks for this idea..i make colored candy popcorn and i add food colors to the oil and sugar and let it melt in the pot while corn is popping and sometimes it doesn't melt that well...this is a great idea of coloring the sugar first ..thanks so much..bout to try it now👍☺

  • @JSSmith4273

    @tachaprosamigos 9 років тому +31

    by using a food colouring of that consistenci (very thick) it leaves your sugar with dark spots and it takes too much time to mix the colour and the sugar so what I do is, I use a liquid food colouring that spreads evenly trough the sugar in 1 min or less and then I just put it in the hoven for 10 min at 50 degrees Celcious. then I put it in the bag again and just roll it over with a rolling pin
