I am trying to color regular sugar with Wilton icing coloring....it is not working....does anyone have any tips on how i can do this?

I have only colored sugar once and what I did was put the sugar into a ziplock bag along with a tiny bit of the gell color and then sealed it and shook like mad. That worked for me.

I color sugar all the time. It works great like catlharper does, and I've also put the sugar along with the gel or food color drops in a tupperware container with a tight fitting lid........again, shake like mad Not only does your sugar get color, it helps you get out your jiggy wiggy's......good luck!
