Decorating Sand

Looking for realistic sand for decorating that won't overpower the flavor of your cake? CakeCentral user tc4cake shares this recipe for sand that looks and tastes great.

I ran across this little concoction this weekend and this sand turned out great and so realistic! The best part is that the taste is so mild it doesn’t affect the flavor of your cake. Enjoy!

  2. Add the chocolate crunch sprinkles and food process a little bit more.
