After you bake the pixie dust, you will need to re-break up the sugar before putting it into a shaker. You can also try drops of liquid food coloring to achieve different colors or depth of color.


To make the baking super easy, I made little “boats” out of tin foil so I could easily keep the different colors separated. And then when it was baked it was easy to dump it into the new container.

If you find that the crystals are still too clumpy and not as fine as you would like. You can also put them into a blender and pulse for a second or two. And it will give a finer texture. Although you will loose some of the gloss and shine from the pixie dust when you do that.

You can use Pixie Dust on just about any baked treat!
