Easy Sugar Skulls

Supplies:

Bowl and spoon

2 cups of granulated sugar

2 teaspoons of meringue powder

2 teaspoons of water

Sugar skull molds

4 index cards

assorted mini-tubes of cake icing

Directions:

Mix the sugar and meringue powder together in bowl. Sprinkle the water in and continue to mix until the sugar is completely moistened and becomes the consistency of moist sand. Scoop some of the mixture into the mold and pack evenly and firmly. Place a piece of card stock on top of the mold and quickly flip the mold over so the sugar skull pops out. Place the skull on a flat surface. Repeat until mixture is gone. Let skulls dry for 24 hr. in a dry place.

Do not set the skulls outside to dry because the ants are sure to find them. When the skulls are completely dry, decorate them with the cake icing.

Makes four small skulls.
