Specialty sugars: common questions

What is the difference between Demerara and turbinado sugar?

Both are partially refined cane sugars with large golden crystals and a light molasses flavor. Demerara crystals are typically a little larger and drier, which is why bakers use it for crunchy toppings on muffins and scones; turbinado is the usual choice for coffee service and cocktail rims. Both are stocked here in 5 lb and 50 lb or 55 lb packs.

What is sanding sugar used for?

Sanding sugar is a coarse, colored decorating sugar that holds its shape and sparkle in the oven. Bakeries use it on cookies, cupcakes and pastries; bars and lemonade stands use it for glass rims. This collection carries 10 lb packs in purple, orange, pink and blue.

What is Baker's Special superfine sugar?

Baker's Special Sugar is a superfine granulated sugar in a 50 lb bag. It dissolves faster than standard granulated sugar, so it is the sugar for lemonade and beverage syrups, meringues, cocktail rims and delicate cakes where undissolved crystals would show.

Do you deliver sugar locally or ship nationwide?

Both. Every item in this collection is a JN Kidds warehouse item that ships nationwide from Brockton, MA. Free local delivery is available on qualifying orders across Eastern Massachusetts and New England, and warehouse pickup is available in Brockton.
