There are a lot of King’s cakes recipes out there for Mardi Gras, and they all seem to have something in common- the deliciously colored sugar sprinkled on top! I personally think that what they charge for colored sugar in those little spice jars from the baking section is practically highway robbery, so I like to make my own! 🙂 It’s soooo much easier than you would think and it really is the cheapest way to have colored sugar, so check it out… DIY colored sugar for Mardi Gras!
I have a lot of recipes that I use this sugar for, so be sure to check out my Mardi Gras celebration ideas to see where you can use yours!
Here’s how you do it. Put some regular, white sugar into a Tupperware container with a lid, and drip a few drops of your desired food coloring into it.
Put the lid onto the container, and shake it until the color is fully mixed with the sugar.
Remove the lid to reveal your very own
(and very cheap) colored sugar!
