Make your own heart shaped sugar cubes
My daughter has been asking me to buy sugar cubes for months — ever since she made a sugar cube castle at school. The other day I saw these heart shaped sugar cubes in a magazine, looked them up and found out they’re out of stock, and decided to make my own. Here’s what I did:
Pour white sugar in a ramekin and get a small heart-shaped cookie cutter.
Add a tiny amount of water and stir in. You’re going for a wet yet crumbly consistency. If it gets too saturated, add more sugar. If too dry, add a bit more water.
I started out by using a small spoon to fill up my heart cookie cutter with sugar, and used a traced cardboard cutout heart to press the sugar down as I lifted off the cookie cutter. I found out that using my fingers worked much better than the cardboard, so that chunks of sugar didn’t come off when I took off the cookie cutter. Here are the finished heart(ish) shaped sugar cubes.
And then I dropped my camera on them.

i saw the same heart shaped sugar cubes in the mag – thanks for showing how to make our own!! i just think they would be cute to give with some tea bags and maybe a pretty tea cup.
good job!!
Too funny, you should’ve left some of the sugar crystals on the lens to take the last picture!
I, too, saw the cubes in Country Living magazine and was looking for them on parthenonfoods only to find that they were sold out. Yours is the second website I’ve visited to find out how to make them myself.
Thank you!
Sarita – You’re right… they would be perfect to package up as a gift. They’re also mighty fine eaten right out of a plastic container!
Dawn – glad your searching led you here. Good luck with the heart-making!
HA HA!!! you’re right about that Elaina ~~
