Joyce in Maine

I tried sanding sugar on holiday cookies last year and the result was lackluster, and I'm over-reporting that. This year I plan to make snowflake cutouts and frost, or "paint", them with white fondant. Because fondant is wet, do I want the KA larger coarse grained sugar or the sparkle sugar? I have a hunch the latter will melt too much into the fondant even though what I desire is the sparkle of a snowflake. Any suggestions? Hi Joyce, Are you using poured fondant? Rolled fondant isn't very wet, it's more like Play-doh, so you'd need to wet it in order for the sugar to stick. What you might want to think about for your snowflakes to have lots of shimmer and sparkle is edible glitter. It looks like frost, or light snow and it is WONDERFUL on snowflake cookies. ~ MaryJane
