I found on another thread (somewhere) your recipe for sand. I made a sand castle cake last night and used your recipe. It was not only adorable and looked so much like sand, but it was sooooo yummy. I added the white sanding sugar to the mix because I didn't have clear, and it was fine I think.

The lady just picked it up and she was very excited. I'll post pics as soon as I can get to a different computer.

So thank you, thank you for the great sand recipe! I'll never use anything else again. icon_smile.gif

2 parts crushed graham crackers
2 parts crushed vanilla wafers
1 part dark brown sugar.

add clear sanding sugar is you like (i usually don't)

I came up w/ this as crackers or wafers alone to blah
and brown sugar alone to icky sweet.

for me a nice balance.

I agree - it is the perfect balance.

I was going to pm Doug to ask if I could repost the recipe, since I couldn't find the link, but I see he beat me to it. icon_smile.gif So thanks - again!

OK, I'm posting the pic now, in case you care to look. I'm not sure it's the best pic though.
