I just recieved my first bag today, been wanting to try it for awhile. Anyone have any issues using it with glacé? Just make it a bit thicker perhaps?
What I wanted to ask is, can I take regular granulated sugar or the Christmas green & red sugars and throw them in the processor for the same look/effect as sanding sugar?

Here's the process used to make sanding sugar:

Sanding sugar crystals are larger than regular granulated sugar crystals in order to reflect light and look sparkly.... so no, that won't work.

Dusting sugar has a very fine crystal, so you might be able to whip that up in your blender/food processor. (Of course, too much processing and you'll wind up with powdered sugar! Or is that what dusting sugar is?)

Thanks, Jan! I just came across this. I had not tried it with the coarser sugar, so that was great to see. Thanks for sharing it!
