Inspired Entertaining: Homemade Flavored Sugar Cubes. While working on another project this weekend, I noticed that one of my tubes of colored sugar had not been closed properly the last time it was used, and so the sugar had clumped a bit creating sparkly green lumps.

That immediately got me thinking--how fun would it be to make my own colored sugar cubes?! I immediately pulled out a bowl and started mixing sugar with food coloring and small amounts of water, then packing and cutting them into squares with a long knife. After 20 minutes or so of drying, I was left with gorgeous little sugar cubes in an irresistible shade of pink. I then went one step further, replacing part of the tap water I'd used with rosewater, and repeating the rest of the process to create rose-scented sugar cubes.
