Colored Sugar

I hate buying colored sugar in the store because it is ridiculously priced, over $2 for a quarter cup of sugar. If you're like me colored sugar is a staple in cookie and cake decorating. So I thought why not just make it at home and save tons of money in the process? I am also not limited to the small color selection in store anymore I can make any color under the sun! So if you have a few minutes to spare and want to make some beautiful colored sugar check out the recipe below!

Colored Sugar

1/4-1/2 cup sugar for each color you want to make
Liquid food coloring (see color chart)
Wax paper
Small air right storage containers

Put strips of wax paper down then pour piles of sugar at least 6 inches apart. One pile for each color you want to make. Put 4-6 drops of food coloring per pile and stir thoroughly with a fork until you reach your desired color. Leave sugar on the wax paper to dry for 10 minutes then store each color in a separate air tight container. It has a forever long shelf life too. Have fun decorating!
