Homemade Decorating Sugar

This is a really easy way to make your own colored sugar sprinkles for decorating cakes and cookies. Buying the stuff at the store is so expensive, and it's ridiculously easy to do at home. It's so easy I almost didn't make a tutorial for it, but I figured I might as well share just in case you hadn't seen this already. All you need is sugar and food coloring.

Put desired amount of sugar in a bowl or ziplock bag.

Add food coloring one or two drops at a time.

Mix it up.

Keep going until the color is uniform.

And you're done. How easy was that? I was worried that maybe the sugar and food coloring would turn into goop, or that the colors would bleed once you sprinkled them onto your frosted goodies, but it turned out perfectly. Now sprinkle on your favorite baked good. I prefer mini cupcakes, they are cute and little so you can eat as many as you want.
