Is this powder or ready to use sugar veil?

It is a powder, but is very easy to use. You just add water. Unlike ready-to-use products, it does not harden in the package over time.

Hi, Diane! Sanding sugar is finer granules. Sparkling sugar is bigger and shinier. I hope that helps. You are correct -- this is what you would put on top of pastries so it doesn't dissolve. I've used them on mini pie pops and they turned out fabulous! Happy baking. :-)

Yes, I found this sugar very coarse. I had wanted to use this on Snowflake cookies last Christmas to have them "glisten" and ended up smashing them with my rolling pin since they were to chunky for what I needed. I hope this helps you.

I think you'd have to check the ingredients list to be absolutely positive. However, I was under the assumption that it's just regular sugar in larger granules. So, imagine granules similar in size to sugar in the raw but white instead of brown. I haven't used this specific brand but I use sanding sugar on my fruit pies and everyone loves it! I go through so much of it when I bake in the summer that I buy it in bulk by the pound instead of little jars like Wilton sells. One bag will last me a year or so. I'm almost positive sparkling comes from the idea that the larger grains reflect light, there's no sparkling agent added. No glitter, lustre dust etc... Just sugar.

I Have setting powder, but seldom use it. It looks okay to me without it, but you maybe should try it first and see for yourself.

I guess it should work, to me raw sugar seems a bit sweeter than white. just try it and see what happens.

Personally, I use it in place of powder. I open one hole beneath the sifter sticker and sift a tiny amount into the lid. Then I apply it with my powder brush. It is translucent and 100% silica.

I haven't tried to powder sugar so I can't directly answer that however, I made a standing rib roast over Thanksgiving, and made a dry rub for it from coarse sea salt, garlic and onion powder, cracked pepper and celery seed. I processed it in the food processor attachment. Much of the salt was reduced, but a fair portion was not. Same for the celery seed. I was hoping to reduce it a bit more, but after a few minutes, it was pretty clear it was as fine as it was going to get.

I don't know this information; it is not shown anywhere on the sifter. I agree with the other responder, it is very fine and works well with flour. Powdered sugar did not work as well.

No, this is more like granulated sugar, perhaps even a slightly larger grain than common table sugar but melts slightly faster in your mouth. I haven't tried using it for baking or cooking, only as part of a dental mouth rinse in conjunction with Closys. I don't know what these wackos are saying in the other responses, this is straight up granulated and not powdery in the least. You could always try throwing it into a blender/processor/herb-or-coffee grinder to get it powdery, though. Even still, frostings can utilize granulated sugar so long as you allow it time or temperature to melt.

Probably not. Honestly, this stuff is JUNK. It's like a gray powder. IMO, it kinda looks like mold once it settles into frosting and gets wet. Maybe I just got a bad one, but if you want sparkle, go with real Disco Dust. That stuff is amazing! I wanted more and bought this because it was Prime eligible and would be here in time where real Disco Dust was not. This was a total waste of money. Disco Dust is tops. Hope that helps! :)

Yes, but you may want to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. I use a tablespoon or liquid Splenda instead of sugar.

iT IS NOT A POWDER;you would need to grind it. Better to purchase a product in the form you need. Grinding it would produce a great deal of dust, and not likely result in a uniform powder.

Sure,just don't be heavy handed with it otherwise you could end up a cakey mess.Let it dry COMPLETELY before you add powder.

There isn't any way of really knowing; however I will say that very little powder sugar when I buy in bulk still have problems with covering coming off. However I find it to work well for my stomach issues and will continue to use them. Better then just raw when your out. I also drink plain ginger tea. Sorry but with out the ingredients by percentage there isn't anyway to honestly answer your question.

I don't think so, Mharlin, because you'll just end up with a sticky mess. It's sugar, and dissolves easily.

I haven't used the generic molds because the sugar veil molds fold back and are easy to release the lace. When I use the oil spray on molds, the lace is the color of the spray. Generic molds require oil spay. I think it would be great to try one and see how it works. Then please let the rest of us know. I have had good results with the sugar veil molds. They are expensive.
