sugar-dusted
Sprinkled with sweetness
Sugar-dusted describes something lightly coated with powdered sugar, as if dusted on: sugar-dusted doughnuts, a sugar-dusted beignet.
The term evokes a delicate, snowy appearance rather than a heavy coating.
Figuratively, it can suggest something made superficially sweet or appealing: a sugar-dusted version of events.
