I am also entering these little guys to http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/, becuase I just love them!!

YAY! We are so excited to feature this DIY project, drum roll please........

Heart Shaped Sugar Cubes!!!

We absolutely love these little guys, they are super fun to add to your wedding or party. We think it would be cute to have them served with coffee and tea, or on a candy table.

Another great idea would be to give them with bags of coffee or coffee cups as favours if you're a coffee lover! 

 Here are the instructions, enjoy!

Equipment:
small bowls
greaseproof paper (parchment/wax paper)
small heart-shaped cookie cutter
teaspoon
granulated sugar
food colours

1. Prepare bowl with sugar. Then add a tiny drop of food colour to the sugar, and a little water to make it damp. Mix until evenly coloured.

2. On a piece of greaseproof paper, push a small amount of sugar firmly into the heart cutter (see 1) and level the top with a spoon (see 2). Carefully lift off the cutter and let dry (see 3&4)**

3. Repeat until all the sugar is used up.

** note: make sure that you do not try and move the cubes until they are dry, about 1/2 hour

I LOVE GLITTER! 

Top reasons why I love glitter:

1. Reminds me of my childhood

2. It sparkles (who doesn't love things that sparkle?)

3. It comes in every colour

4. MARTHA uses it all the time    

So, seeing that I love glitter so much, I had to incorporate it into my wedding! It totally went with the theme, glitz and glamour, and was so fun to do, right Katie?!

I used it on our adult and kiddy menu's, they were a huge hit and it was super easy to do. The best part is you don't have to be super creative...just print out whatever it is that you would like to glitter and trace over it! My favourite glitter is Martha Stewart's Glitter (obviously) and it comes in a zillion colours. You can buy them in a huge pack of 24, or in smaller packs of 3 monochromatic colours. They also come with a little glue pen, but I opted to buy the Fine Tip Glue Pen and the Artists Glue Pen...both work very well.  

So here's what your gotta do...

1. Print out whatever it is that you want to glitter

2. Prepare a tray (I use a baking pan) with a piece of parchment (or other) paper inside. 

3. Trace over what you want to be glittered

4. Put into pan and pour a generous amount of glitter onto the glued area

5. Wait a few seconds, then flip paper over and tap against the pan to remove access glitter

6. When you're done glittering, fold paper in half and pour extra glitter back into the container

7. VOILA!

tip** if you have gaps that filled in, or letters are touching that aren't supposed to be, use a toothpick and after it has dried slightly just remove the glitter from those spots.

I think this project would look amazing for table numbers, menus, invitations, signs and sooooo much more!
