I have a bunch of posts "pending", but wanted to get this little ditty out there. Here in the PNW we are experiencing a major snow/ice storm, so I've been trapped in the house for days. Yesterday in my Etsy email was a cute post for heart shaped sugar cubes. I LOVE sugar cubes. But $50 for 100 cubes seemed insane. So I Googled....and realized how simple they are to make. Sugar, a little food coloring and a teaspoon of water. Easy Peasy!
So half a cup sugar, and a couple drops food coloring...
Then add about half teaspoon water, and mix until you get the consistency of damp sand. Not quite as wet as sand for a sand castle, but close. Add water carefully as too much and it disolves the sugar.
I have these little heart candy molds from back when I thought I'd tackle candy making, which work as beautiful little molds.
Let them dry a few minutes in the mold, then carefully remove from the molds. Let air dry about an hour, and voila! Sugar cubes!
