How Do You Build A Sugar Cube Igloo?
Build an igloo with no snow. Use sugar cubes instead, and you can keep your igloo year-round. Use it as a centerpiece on your holiday table. Have a contest: fastest igloo built, best looking, most layers, most likely to fall apart. Mix royal icing. Measure 1/4 cup shortening and place in mixing bowl. Add cream of tartar. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until the mixture is creamy. Set aside. Using a knife, spread a dot of royal icing on the side of a sugar cube, then place it icing side down on the cardboard circle’s outer edge. Repeat until there are just two inches of cardboard edge left. This will be your doorway. Wait ten to twenty minutes. Begin the next row by placing the first sugar cube over the line between two sugar cubes, like you are laying bricks. Wait twenty minutes between rows to allow the icing to harden. Continue until you have about seven rows, then start the rows for the top separately on the table. Let your top rows and your igloo base harden for several days befo
