Sugar Hearts - Homemade Sugar Cubes - Today's Creative Life

With Valentine’s Day coming, these homemade sugar cube sugar hearts are a fun thing to do! Use them for cereal, tea, coffee, or just decoration.

I’ll be on our local network KATU’s morning show, AMNW next week sharing a few Valentines Day ideas. One idea I’ve been dying to try, is making sugar hearts. Ever since I saw these homemade sugar cubes, I’ve tucked them into the back of my mind to try them sometime. Well, the time has come!

Regular Sugar
Red Food Coloring Paste or Gel – I used a gel from Michaels in the cake decorating section.
Heart Shaped silicone mold

Pour 1/2 cup of sugar in a bowl.
Mix about 1 teaspoon of water with the sugar
Start by placing some dye on the end of a toothpick and stirring into your sugar. Mix well. If you need more color, repeat the toothpick method until you get the color you desire.
Press and pack into the mold.
Flip onto waxed paper or parchment paper and let them dry.

I’m kind of excited to try this using other shapes. Besides using in tea, wouldn’t it look darling on top of oatmeal?

I thought the soft pink hearts would go perfectly with my Valentine Printables from last year made my FunkyTime.com
