Steps

1

It is very important to have your workstation, ingredients, shapes, lollipop sticks etc. all in place and ready to go before you begin to cook your sugar. Cooked sugar waits for no one and once you've started cooking it, there is no "pause" button.
2

Fill a half sheet pan or other flat tray with Icing sugar. Smooth it out lightly to an even layer that nearly reaches the top of pan. Using your chosen shape, press evenly and firmly into the sugar to create a well,here I'm using my kids alphabetics as shapes.Any firm, round, smooth shape will do for pressing the shape. Scout around the kitchen to see wat you can find. Then your sticks,be careful about the placement of the sticks, you won't be able to change once you start pouring sugar.
3

As you prepare to begin cooking sugar, do yourself a huge favor and fill a bowl with ice water and place it in the sink. Hot sugar will stick and burn skin easily. If you have ice water on hand, you can save yourself from a serious burn by plunging into the water.
4

Now that ur shapes are ready, you are ready to prepare the sugar. Place one cup of sugar, lemon and water. Stir the mixture well until all the sugar is dampened.
5

With the sugar fully cooked, now you can add flavoring and color, as for me I used blue and pink as my choice colors, stir quickly to incorporate the color and flavor,The mixture will bubble and snap at first, but will settle down as it cools slightly. Now is the time to work quickly.
6

Carefully fill each mold with the sugar. You can fill right to the top of the mold. When all the molds are full, puts your sprinkle immediately, then set the tray aside for drying. Depending on the room temperature and humidity, this can take a few minutes.

Done. Time to enjoy😋
