Colored sugar is granulated sugar that has been dyed with food coloring. It adds a touch of sweetness, vibrant visual appeal, and a satisfyingly crunchy texture to baked goods and confections. Available in a rainbow of colors, colored sugar is a popular decorative element used to elevate the look of cookies, cakes, cupcakes, donuts, and other desserts. It is sometimes also called decorating sugar or sanding sugar.

Store colored sugar in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. This prevents clumping and color fading. Properly stored, colored sugar can maintain its quality for several months. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods, as sugar can absorb odors.
