Powdered sugar is the fine, sweet, endlessly versatile pantry staple for dusting, glazing and baking, and Whipzi is shaking things up with flavored powdered sugars, adding a new dimension of taste to a category people thought they already knew everything about. "For decades, the sweetener aisle has seen very little change or true disruption. Modern consumers are looking for flavor, clean-label convenience, and multi-functional products," said Angela Powell, Founder and Owner of Whipzi. "Whipzi delivers exactly that—giving shoppers a premium, plant-based sweetener that elevates everything from their morning beverage to their weekend bakes without synthetic dyes or messy extracts. "
Naturally flavored, dye-free Whipzi is a 1:1 replacement for standard powdered sugar, and flavors like Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate are ready to add flavor and color to buttercream, whipped cream, pancakes, and more.
