Cooking Tips
Sprinkle pearl sugar on top of cookies, cakes, and pastries before baking for a sweet crunch and visual appeal.
Use it to decorate Scandinavian baked goods like cinnamon buns (kanelbullar) and waffles.
Because it holds its shape, pearl sugar is ideal for adding texture that won't melt away during baking.

Common Mistakes
Expecting pearl sugar to dissolve like granulated sugar; its purpose is to remain whole for texture and decoration.
Using too much; a little goes a long way for adding crunch without making the dessert overly sweet.
