- Stir in a few drops of food coloring into each bowl until desired shades are achieved.
Create Sugar Towers
- Pour the colored sugar onto parchment paper to cool slightly.
- While it’s still warm, use your hands to mold into small tower shapes or let it cool completely to form crystals.
- Once cool, stack the sugar pieces using skewers or toothpicks for added height.

- Arrange your Sugar Towers on a platter and admire your work!
