Sugar Molds

    2 cups granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon liquid food coloring
    3 teaspoons egg white, lightly stirred

Place sugar in bowl, add food coloring and egg white and knead with your hands until well blended. Pack firmly into mold and level top with a spatula. Cover mold with cardboard, turn over and lift mold off. (For sparkle, immediately dust with edible glitter.)

Dry thoroughly, about five hours. For a large hollow mold, place in 200'F oven five minutes. Carefully tip sugar mold into your palm and scoop out damp sugar inside with a teaspoon. Replace on cardboard and dry thoroughly about 24 hours.
