How to Make a Sugar Sculpture
Instructions
1Decide what project you'd like to work on. Draw out your design on a piece of cardboard, such as a flag, pumpkin, shamrock, apple or another design you prefer.
2
Assemble your supplies, including sugar cubes, various food coloring and an eye dropper. You'll also need a pencil, scissors, glue and paper towels.
3
Figure out approximately how many sugar cubes you will need to complete your project. Use this formula: five sugar cubes equal three inches.
4
Cover the cardboard with white paper. Glue the paper to the cardboard and let it set until the glue is dry.
5
Draw or trace your desired design on the paper. Place sugar cubes in the design and glue each cube to the board.
6
Use the eye dropper and slowly drip food coloring onto the cubes, according to your design. Let cubes dry.
7
Enjoy your sugar sculpture/art. While the professionals generate masterpieces by toiling over hot mixes of granulated sugar, glucose, tartaric acid and more, you've just created a masterpiece using simple sugar cubes and food coloring.
