📏 Sizing & Quantity (Sold by Weight)
This product is sold by weight, not by piece count.
Each order includes 12 oz (¾ lb) of Sugar Ice Shards™. Because shard sizes vary, the larger the shards selected, the fewer individual pieces you will receive.
Approximate piece counts per 12 oz (estimates):
-
Small Pieces (0.5”–1”) → ~35– 40 shards
-
Medium Pieces (2”–3”) → ~15 - 20 shards
-
Large Pieces (2”–3”, thicker) → ~7-10 shards
-
Extra Large (3”–4”) → ~4-5 shards
-
Single Jumbo (5”–6”) → ~ 1 statement shards (NOT 12 Oz.)
-
Mixed Sizes → A curated blend across sizes for organic ice effects
These counts are estimates only and will vary slightly due to natural differences in thickness, shape, and weight.
Single Jumbo Note:
The Single Jumbo option is NOT a full 12 oz quantity. Jumbo shards must be created using a specialized production process to achieve their size, clarity, and structural integrity. This option is sold as statement pieces, not by total weight.
👉 Design tip: Smaller shards work best for scattered ice, borders, and cupcake styling. Larger shards are ideal for dramatic focal points, ice spikes, and statement cakes.
Variation is intentional and part of the handcrafted ice aesthetic.
🌈 Decorating Tips
Insert shards vertically into buttercream or fondant to create frozen spikes, cluster for glacier effects, or scatter smaller pieces around cake bases for cracked ice details.
