It will be in the cake decorating section, where the sprinkles and that sort of thing is.

dcarch and Rusty: Thanks for the info. I haven't been looking in the right place!

I also find it in the cake decorating department, but here it's called "coarse sugar" sometimes, and "sanding sugar" other times, and sometimes called "decorating crystals"!

Annie

Good to know, Annie. Thanks!

And if your grocery stores fail you, try Hobby Lobby or Michael's.

Rusty

Thanks, Rusty!

I have my almost empty container sitting on my counter to remind me to buy more. Michaels and JoAnnes are the only places I can find it

Wilton "sprinkles" - white sparkling sugar

Thanks for the picture and the additional places to buy. With this much info, I surely can't miss!!

My local Christmas tree shop had multi-color jars of these sprinkles today.

I did find it at the grocery store with the cake mixes/supplies. Thanks!

Turbonado (spelling?) sugar is generally color of light brown and very coarse. That;s what I roll peanut butter dough in before squishing with a fork. If you don't need specific colors, it has to be a bargain compared to those little containers o specialty stuff.

I also like turbinado, aka raw sugar. I use it a lot on the top of muffins I'm baking. I've also used the sparkling sugar sprinkles, but mostly just use the raw sugar now since it's something I always have on hand. The sugar sprinkles do sparkle more, I think, and I do like it as a decorative touch on cakes as well as for the added sweetness and crunch. The raw sugar (turbinado) seems to add the sweetness and crunch but IMHO isn't as decorative.

It's spelled turbinado (I checked), and that's a great idea, kiselverd! I hope I remember it the next time I make sugar-coated PB cookies!!!

ETA: sorry to hear it isn't as decorative, sail_away. :(

Sanding sugar is sold in the bulk food department of my local supermarket. Quite inexpensive when sold in this manner. I use to top any muffins and sweet breads (I like that sweet crunch!) and sometimes for rolling cookies in before baking.

And at this time of year they have it available in both red and green versions - great for decorating sugar cookies!

I did see the turbinado, but thought (as you say) that the color wouldn't sparkle like the bright white does. Like the idea of using it for PB cookies. Will have to check out bulk departments for the sanding sugar next time.
