Sugar and Crumb Icing Sugar Review

Good Morning Everyone.

I love to cook, I love to bake and love to try new things. Hence why I started a cake and bakes business.

There is one thing I love more than anything and that's trying new flavours. This is where the amazing brand Sugar and Crumbs come in. Sugar and Crumb have an amazing range of natural icing sugar and cocoa powder  that I just couldn’t refuse trying out. Not only that, it was the perfect excuse to bake cake! 

Sugar and Crumb have a large number of icing sugars so I took the plunge and purchased a couple. Jaffa Twist, Bubble Gum, Coconut & Lime and White Chocolate and Raspberry.





The package is stylish and  eye catching when it arrived. It contains recipes for simple cupcakes and also butter cream icing using the product. What I was also pleasantly surprised to find they can also be used to make fudge, meringues, marshmallows and other delicious treats. Obviously, I will be giving these a go at a later stage.


All of the powder smelt amazing and filled the whole kitchen with the sweet fragrances being used. On the packaging it states that the powder is intense on flavour so I decided to mix half the flavoured icing with half regular icing sugar just so the flavouring wasn't to over powering. I mixed together the butter cream icing one batch after another Charlotte, Mum Dad and I had a taste test of each before I piped them onto the cakes and  the taste of the icing was incredible! The Coconut and Lime tasted like limes with a undercut of sweet coconut but natural – not a synthetic flavour at all. The Bubble Gum flavour brought back memories of when I was a young girl and went to the local corner shop for a 10p bubble gum ball. The most amazing flavour! The Jaffa Twist (Chocolate Orange) tasted exactly like chocolate orange– It’s one of my favourite flavour and a flavour I know so well, it was perfect! Finally the White Chocolate and Raspberry, where do I begin! The flavour is incredible. Sweet tangy raspberry with the white chocolate lingering around on the aftertaste. This icing is hands down one of my favours!

The flavours are strong, natural and add something special to any cake. As well as cocoa powder and icing sugar, Sugar and Crumbs also stock a wide range of coloured sugar paste and their whole range of product flavours is impressive.

I enjoyed these icing sugars so much, that later on in the month I had an cake event which I was more than proud to add Sugar and Crumb Flavoured cupcakes to my collection. I will certainly be adding to my collection with more of these wonderful icings.
