A Sweet Little Something

It's been forever since I've added a post!  I've been a busy girl, what with the holidays, end of semester at school and, oh yes, planning my WEDDING!  Way too much going on, but I'm trying to make time for my blog, because I enjoy it so much.

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!
