I make mine using my regular icing gels.  It doesn't have to be powder.

Thanks :) Yeah you can color you own sugar using powder color. The pre-made stuff is pretty cheap though, I get it in 6lb cartons for around ten bucks a pop.

Oooooooh.....I really like this.  Cool technique.   Love, love the sparkle. I have just recently heard of sanding sugar.  Actually found a site that tells you how to make r own.

Gotcha - pics can be so misleading sometimes especially from one computer screen to another, so I wasn't sure what I was looking at.  I thought - this has to be sugar... but the texturing threw it off in the pic.  Great job!!

It's sanding sugar.  She wanted sparkley...  I textured the butter cream underneath like suede with a pastry brush.

Great Job!  I bet the customer loved it!

Looks nice.  What did you coat it with?  My gut says sugar, but in some pics it looks fuzzy, like you are representing some sort of suede.  I like it either way.
