How to Make Edible Sand For Cakes and Cookies

Edible sand is a fun way to decorate any sea or beach-themed treats such as cakes, cookies and cupcakes.

To make it, all you need are any kind of plain or vanilla cookies, granulated sugar, brown sugar and some edible glitter (optional but adds a nice sparkle!)

Finely crush the cookies - you can use a food processor or put them into a plastic bag and crush them finely with a rolling pin.

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar and edible glitter (if using) to the crushed cookies, and stir until well combined.

Now it's ready to use! There are a few options for attaching the edible sand, depending on what you're making, so check out the link below for all of the different options.
