No. Sugar is a solid. When heated, it will burn, but not sublime.

(To sublime is to go from the solid state to the gaseous state with no liquid state in between. The most common thing that will sublime is solid carbon dioxide, which we know as "dry ice". It's a solid below about -109F, and sublimes into the gaseous state above that. Carbon dioxide has no liquid state at atmospheric pressure; it is only liquid below 0 degrees F at pressures above 60PSI.)
