Sugar Cone Revisited

Two posts down, I made a sugar cone.  While the results were okay, it really wasn't quite what I had envisioned.  So I went through the many links I have bookmarked, and found another method.  Here's a link to that. Oodlekadoodle Primitives ~ Sugar Cones Tutorial  I won't lie, I had my doubts that it would work.  I didn't think it would stay together with such a little amount of water,  but it did and it's harden up nicely.  Now, I just need to find the right mold and I'll be 100% satisfied.  I'd like something a little smaller on top. The lighting in the photos are courtesy of the setting sun tonight.  So bright and warm.  Nothing like the temps out there.


Here's a close up.  I wanted to be able to see the granules of the sugar.  That didn't happen with the other one.

    Hi Lori,
    I think these look wonderful! Can I ask what you used for a mold this time?
    I'm not sure exactly what shape you are looking for, but I have used a plastic toy cone (a smaller, kid size version of the kind used for road construction)with good results. I found mine in the toy department at Walmart.
    Good luck!

    Hi Rhonda, I used a paper take-out coffee cup. The shape your describing sounds exactly like the one I've got in mind. I still want the cone shape, just more narrow on the top. Thanks so much for the tip!
