The Scoop on our Sanding Sugars
Ingredients
Nutritional information

While most colorful sugars rely on petroleum-derived dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 5, our sanding sugar gets its gorgeous hues from plants. We're talking spirulina for that vibrant green and vegetable juice for bold red—because your cookies, cakes, and cocktails deserve color that's as clean as it is eye-catching. The fine grain makes it perfect for detailed decorating work, rimming glasses, and finishing desserts with a professional touch. Skip the synthetics and still keep the sparkle with naturally-colored sugar that actually makes sense.

Got Questions?

We’ve got Answers

1.
What makes your sanding sugar different from regular colored sugar?
Our sanding sugar gets its vibrant colors from spirulina and vegetable extracts instead of petroleum-based dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 5. The fine grain makes it perfect for decorating cookies, rimming cocktail glasses, and finishing desserts—delivering bold, natural color without artificial ingredients.
2.
Will the colors fade or change during baking?
These sanding sugars are designed for decorating and finishing applications rather than baking through. Apply them to frosted cookies, finished cakes, or use them to rim glasses for the most vibrant color. For baked applications, we recommend our sparkling sugar which holds up under heat.
3.
How fine is the grain compared to sparkling sugar?
Our sanding sugar has a finer grain than our sparkling sugar, making it ideal for detailed decorating work, creating smooth rims on glasses, and achieving even coverage on frosted surfaces. It won't provide the same dramatic crunch, but offers versatility for precision decorating.
4.
Is your sanding sugar gluten-free?
Yes! Our sanding sugar is tested and verified gluten-free per FDA standards (<20ppm). While it is processed in a facility that also handles wheat products, we implement strict protocols and testing to ensure gluten levels remain well below FDA requirements. We provide this transparency about our production environment while maintaining rigorous quality standards, making this sugar suitable for most gluten-sensitive bakers.
5.
What colors do you offer?
We currently offer green (colored with spirulina) and red (colored with vegetable juice). Both deliver vibrant, natural color perfect for holidays, special occasions, or any time you want your baked goods to stand out.
