177 - Special Edition ~ Sugar Skulls

Sugar Skulls
By CharmingPixieFlora
•4 to 5 cups powdered sugar
•1 egg white
•1 TBS corn syrup
•1/2 tsp vanilla
•Cornstarch
•Food coloring
•1 Paintbrush
•Large plastic bag
•Large container

In a large bowl mix the egg white, corn syrup, and vanilla in a clean bowl until all incorporated. Mix in the powdered sugar about two cups at a time until a dough ball forms and the dough is no longer wet looking. Remove dough from bowl and knead on a hard surface that has been dusted with powdered sugar. Keep kneading until dough is firm and stiff.

Put about 1 cup of corn starch in the large plastic bag. Form dough into 1 inch balls and coat, in starch filled bag. Place starch coated balls into large container.

Cover container tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerator overnight.

When ready to form skulls, take sugar ball and cup in hands for about 5 to 10 seconds to warm the ball slightly, so it will not crack while shaping. When ball becomes slightly pliable, form your skull.

Set on tray and let dry overnight.
Decorate with food coloring.

Hi sweetie! I just wanted you to know that I finally made your sugar skulls!!! YEA! They were so much fun to make. I laughed at myself and it was fun. I learned that I am no sculptor and I looked but couldn't find a mold quick enough but found things around the house to make the eyes and small teeth with. Anyhow I wanted to let you know that I added 2Tablespoons of lemon juice and they were awesome sweet and sour in layers. Thanks so much for all of your videos, this was one of my favorites
