Ingredients
- Sugar cubes: Choose the number you want to decorate.
- Food-safe paint: Use paint explicitly intended for use on food or food-contact surfaces.
- Paintbrushes: Choose a brush that is comfortable to control.
- Container for painting: Use a suitable container to hold or prepare the paint.
Instructions
- Gather the supplies. Set out the sugar cubes, food-safe paint, paintbrushes, and container for painting. Check the paint label before you begin so you understand its preparation and drying instructions.
- Prepare the paint. Arrange the food-safe paint in your desired colors. Prepare it only as directed by the manufacturer.
- Paint the sugar cubes. Dip a paintbrush into the paint and apply it carefully to the surface of each sugar cube. Work gently and use the brush to keep the paint on the areas you intend to color.
- Let the paint dry completely. Place the painted cubes where they can remain undisturbed while they dry. Follow the paint manufacturer’s directions, and do not use or display the cubes as finished until they are completely dry.
Notes
Keep the paint, brushes, and painting container dedicated to this food-craft task. Follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions about preparing the color and handling painted items.
