Here is What You Need
- a mold
- granulated sugar
- water and
- paste food coloring (optional)
- measuring cup and spoons
How to Make Homemade Sugar Cubes
Mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon water and tiny (pin drop) bit of paste food coloring. Mix well. It will feel like damp sand.
Firmly press the sugar into the heart mold.
Carefully flip mold over and remove the hearts. It is a bit tricky during the flip but, I found it easiest to fill the mold and immediately remove so I could keep making the sugar cubes. Placing something flat on the mold and flipping all together at once made it a bit easier. Wipe mold between fillings.
Allow sugar cubes to dry and harden. Overnight is best. It doesn’t take long to have beautiful homemade sugar cubes!

my friend and I over the internet were just talking about sugar cubes and making some up, and putting them in a nice little box or bag. And get a nice coffee cup or tea cup with a spoon dipped in chocolate to give out as gifts to our friends, MOM’s, Teacher for our kids ect.
Lovely! I wanted to “pin it” but it wouldn’t let me.
Wow those are awesome! I found in a magazine a place that sells just reg white sugar cubes (out of stock) but these are so much cuter 🙂
What a great idea! Can’t wait to try this!
Love this! Had to pin it!
I can not get your pin it to work.
These sugar hearts are so precious. Thanks for sharing. I absolutely *heart* pink so I’m loving these.
Very clever! How do you store the sugar cubes, and how long will they keep for?
BIG smiles!
That’s how I began and remained while reading this post. And I’m still smiling thinking of which of my friends will be receiving these and how they will react. I guess that’s not really a surprise: BIG SMILES, I’m sure.
Thank you!
I had NO idea we could make sugar cubes!! Let along make them soo darn cute!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Very pretty! I also do this with butter for holidays.
I’ve done this, it’s very easy & makes such an impression! The first time I made though, I spilled a glass of water on them just after I’d finished! In less than 5 minutes I had another batch made.
What a great idea! I’d love if you’d come share on my first ever link party:

Beautiful! Thanks for the great tutorial! I love these!
Fun idea! I wonder if a silicon ice cube tray would work as well.
