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!
Wow! I expected it to be a lot more complicated, but turned out to be sooo easy! Colored sugar is not only expensive but also not easy to buy here in Korea! (South 😉) Thank you!
I enjoyed your home! Both you and your baby are just as colorful as the sugar! I had fun. And I know that there is drama happening at anytime! Keep up the home as you are I enjoyed!
i feel like i owe u a huge favor i think u might have just saved me a whole lot of money through out the year... thank u for sharing this with everyone
Thank you for posting this video!!! I am making cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday and have decided to use colored sugar instead of sprinkles(to get the exact colors I want). This is the first video I have watched on coloring sugar, and you make it sound and look so easy. I am sooo excited to try this!!!
Oh my god!!! I just made a bag of light pink :) YAY I was about to go and buy a load of coloured sugar sprinkles today for my cookies. You have saved me a lot of money. Thank you as I am selling my cookies for a fundraiser so this has given us a better chance of saving on costs. :)
I just made colored sugar for the first time and it was super easy. I followed everything you did and I will be using the sugar for coatings of different treats for the upcoming forth of july!!! Thanks so much for your video!!!
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.
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👍☺
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.
Thank you SOOO much! Here in Denmark we just got icing in the stores, and it in only a few! And colored sugar just didn't existed, but I looove cupcakes, and this saved my cupcakes! Love you! :D
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
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!
@Shannindhall 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. :)
thank you! I have been on a low carb sugar free life change and have finally found a cookie that tastes like a high carb cookie but I wanted sprinkles! I tried your idea only using monk fruit sweetner and it worked beautifully! thank you again!
This is perfect. I'm planning on making a "make your own" unicorn cookie jar recipe for my friends birthday. I wanted to make the sugar pink so it would look prettier in the jar =)
Would it be much quicker to use a deep bowl with an electric mixer? Takes me a minute or two. Thanks for the gel tip though, I've been dealing with the drying process of using food coloring so this will help.
No. Cotton candy is basically heated and pulled sugar. when you pull melted sugar thin enough, it becomes a floss. That's what cotton candy is. :) I used to use sprinkles in my cotton candy maker for colored cotton candy. It's actually pretty neat!
brilliant !!! one of those omg how come I did'nt think of that moments when I watched lol as I just just scouring ebay for ... yep sprinkles ! thank you and for the lively commentary made it so much better than silence or weird music lol
Well thank you very much. I love making my own colored sugar. However one tip. I wouldn't put the colored sugar on them until you are just about ready to serve them. Sometimes if they sit overnight the sugar will dissolve in the icing and look runny.

Totally Awesome. Thank you for sharing.☺. Have a sweet day.
You saved this broke student a solid 5 bucks baking birthday treats for my lil sister's birthday party, thank you! 😭❤
Oh Gosh! Thanks sooo much for this video!!!! This colored sugar is so expensive, especially if you need several colors for the same recipe. :)
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!
I used to make my own brown sugar this way! You can put it in a bowl and use a whisk..much faster! Good video!
Omg your a genius this is so affordable those things cost alot for a small bottle thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make the color sugar. I always wondered how to do it.

Wow! I expected it to be a lot more complicated, but turned out to be sooo easy! Colored sugar is not only expensive but also not easy to buy here in Korea! (South 😉) Thank you!

Very pretty! Thank you for your video!
made loads of different colours thank u keep the videos comming
Question! Does the colour fade over time? Or are you able to store it for some time?
Thank you SOOO much! Here in Denmark we just got icing in the stores, and it in only a few! And colored sugar just didn't existed, but I looove cupcakes, and this saved my cupcakes! Love you! :D

All of that sounds like it takes just as long as what the presenter did - just different steps.

Very cool I will try this this week. thanks
Nice video. I'm wondering if you can flavor it somehow for cotton candy use. You sold me on the gel use.
Idk how I got to this video but I will definitely remember this for the future because my kids like to waste sprinkles and this looks so much cheaper!
thank you so much for sharing I'm always looking to do projects with my children and save money
Americolor is the best food coloring.. true to color. Takes very little.. I could never get true red or black.. give it a try.. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks to this video. Got idea what to put on my cupcakes
Nice work you are good
It looks so pretty.
i like your kitchen more then the sugar colors, :-D
Awesome! I love baking!! Thanks a lot!

Great tips on candy apples...
Thank you! Used your help for a cocktail at work
This was soooooooooooo helpful. And your colors are fabulous!
@Shannindhall
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. :)
Yes you can. You will just need to leave the sugar out in a bowl for a while longer to dry.
Thank you very much.I will try to make colour sugar right now.
thank you! I have been on a low carb sugar free life change and have finally found a cookie that tastes like a high carb cookie but I wanted sprinkles! I tried your idea only using monk fruit sweetner and it worked beautifully! thank you again!

This is perfect. I'm planning on making a "make your own" unicorn cookie jar recipe for my friends birthday. I wanted to make the sugar pink so it would look prettier in the jar =)
I think I am going to try that and It will save so much money
Would it be much quicker to use a deep bowl with an electric mixer? Takes me a minute or two. Thanks for the gel tip though, I've been dealing with the drying process of using food coloring so this will help.
I purchased the gel food coloring at Safeway. It's Mc Cormick I think. It was in a box with 4 tubes. Worked great. And nope no change in taste :)
Thank you 🙏🏻 for teaching as I needed that.. 😚
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ur such a BIG help.. ❤️😍
Could we just use cotton candy sugar or will that not work?
Awesome video thanks for the info!
We will have to use this idea in our videos!
Thank you
it looks so funny when you mixed the color with the sugar x3 no negative. and thank you for show me how to color sugar! :3

No. Cotton candy is basically heated and pulled sugar. when you pull melted sugar thin enough, it becomes a floss. That's what cotton candy is. :) I used to use sprinkles in my cotton candy maker for colored cotton candy. It's actually pretty neat!
Can you add flavoring (like fruit flavor)? If so how?
Thanks - great post!!
i recommend using caster sugar 'coz it's more fine.Very very good idea. thank!!
thank you for his video! It´s perfect for the decoration of the traditional christmas cockies and it safes so much money to me! ;)
Love the video. Can you make sugar scrubs with this colored sugar or will the oil discolor the sugar? thanks!
That’s really cool but can u eat the sugar?
of course! food coloring is edible, flavorless, and non toxic!
brilliant !!! one of those omg how come I did'nt think of that moments when I watched lol as I just just scouring ebay for ... yep sprinkles ! thank you and for the lively commentary made it so much better than silence or weird music lol
Thanks for the tip on the colored sugar
Thank you so much..i didn't even think about this..Thanks for sharing..U saved me a bunch of savings..😍😍
Great video.... How long does it keep for? I'm assuming a long time....
i love, i am brasilian, and love your videos
Thank you. I'm making candy apples and wanted them to be different. Can't wait to finish them.
Sooo cool. I need to try this.
You and all your glory is amazing
This is great! Think of the money we'll save! Thanks!
U posted this in my birthday :-)
'ON my birthday', to be correct :)
Oh I didn't even see that that's what I meant 😟😅😨
Well thank you very much. I love making my own colored sugar. However one tip. I wouldn't put the colored sugar on them until you are just about ready to serve them. Sometimes if they sit overnight the sugar will dissolve in the icing and look runny.
Is this sugar good for candy floss?
