How To Make Sugar Heart Wedding Favours

Icing Ingredients:

Edging:
- ½ cup icing sugar
- 2 teaspoons water

Flooding:
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 4 tablespoons water
- 4 different food colouring

Method:

1. In a small bowl combine the edging icing ingredients so it resembles...toothpaste to be honest. 
2. Using a piping bag with a small nozzle, pipe an outline around the edge of each heart. 
3. Allow this to dry before the next step. 
4. Combine the flooding sugar and water in a bowl so it resembles...look, I can only think of gross baby-related stuff, so, just make sure it is opaque, and when drizzled on itself it settles smoothly and quickly. 
5. Separate into 4 bowls and tint slowly with drops of colouring until you like the tones. 
6. Using 4 different teaspoons, dollop small amounts of each icing into each heart. 
7. Tip the icing about, or use a flat small palette knife to push it to the hardened edge. 
8. Swirling is encouraged for a dream rainbow sparkle wonder effect. 
9. Add assorted sprinkles while the icing is still tacky. If you’re really clever, you can shape them into your initials or those of your guests...

Tip: If you've had too many coffees or just have shaky hands, try to shake the edge line inwards as those bumps will be covered later by the flood.
