Steps:
- Measure sugar into a measuring cup
- Add water
- Add a teensy bit of food coloring (err on the side of too little) and stir well
- If the color is too light, add a teensy bit more food coloring.
- Once sugar and water are mixed well and the color is correct, press sugar into a silicone mold of your choosing. They come in all shapes and sizes.
- Turn the mold over just above a plate and the cubes will fall right out.
- Place plate with cubes in a freezer for 1-2 hours until they are well hardened. Once hardened they can be stored in a container in the refrigerator for future use.
HEART SHAPED SUGAR CUBES FOR PARTIES
These cute heart-shaped sugar cubes are so easy to make! Even the kids can help. I think they would be fun for parties, especially tea parties or to offer to guests with coffee after dinner. The silicone ice trays come in every imaginable shape, so make your sugar cubes in whatever shape or motif you wish. Imagine making them in Orange for Halloween, Red for Valentine's Day. White would be beautiful for a bridal shower. Pink and lavender is pretty for Easter and Mother's Day.

Steps:
- In a glass measuring cup, place the sugar and a half teaspoon of water (don't use more water or you will dissolve the sugar). You can add drop or two of any shade food coloring you wish. Stir together until thoroughly combined. The sugar should feel and look like wet sand.
- Press your sugar into little silicon ice cube molds. Be sure to press really firmly so your sugar will hold tight together. Once you've pressed the sugar firmly down into the mold, turn the mold over and the hearts will fall right out onto a plate. They turn out of the molds very easily. If one breaks when you turn it out, just press it back into the mold and then turn it back out again.
- I placed the plate directly into the freezer, uncovered. I left it there for 2-3 hours and the cubes hardened up nicely. Once they hardened up and were no longer so fragile, I tucked them into a baggies and returned them to the refrigerator. You can store them in either the refrigerator or the freezer. They hold together well once they harden up in the freezer.
- Right after you take them out of the freezer, that's a good time to clean up the edges of the heart. The little sugar crumbs around the edges break off and will leave a nicer looking edge.
- Notes: I always buy these molds at Dollar Tree or Michael's. They usually have them in fun shapes depending on the season and time of year. 1/4 cup of sugar makes about 8 sugar hearts. If you wish to make more, just double or triple the recipe.

Tips:
- Use a sturdy mold: This will prevent the sugar cubes from breaking apart when you press them out.
- Press the sugar firmly into the mold: This will help to create a smooth, even surface on the sugar cubes.
- Chill the sugar cubes before unmolding: This will help them to hold their shape better.
- Add some flavoring to the sugar cubes: You can add a few drops of food coloring, extract, or flavoring oil to the sugar before pressing it into the mold.
- Be creative with your decorations: You can use sprinkles, edible glitter, or other decorations to make your heart-shaped sugar cubes even more festive.
Conclusion:
Heart-shaped sugar cubes are a fun and easy way to add a touch of sweetness to your next party. They're also a great way to show someone you care. With a little creativity, you can make heart-shaped sugar cubes that are both delicious and beautiful.
