I am a fan of any Kirstie Allsopp crafting program on TV but I'm pretty rubbish at actually trying out any of the things I love on the show (as well as DIY crafts I've pinned on Pinterest!) As someone who spends their days making jewellery and gifts to sell it can be hard to just make something for fun (although everything I make for my business is fun!) and not to try and work out how I'm going to sell it.
But with Valentines Day last week it seemed like the perfect excuse to make these adorable little sugar cubes.
These are quick, seriously easy and they look so cute popped into tea and coffee or even just looking pretty in your kitchen.
You will need:
chocolate mould
250g granulated sugar
1 tsp water
food colouring
1. Measure the sugar into a bowl and add the water.
2. Stir until all the sugar is moistened.
3. Add a tiny bit of colouring onto your finger and dab into the sugar, then stir in. If the colour is not dark enough continue to add small amounts until you are happy with the colour.
4. Heap the sugar into the mould and firmly press it down into the mould.
5. Make sure that the sugar is compact and remove excess sugar from the top of the moulds.
6. Leave it at room temperature overnight in a dry place.
7. Remove from the moulds by either carefully popping them out or placing a plate on top and turning over.
