1. Gather Your Materials. You will nee about 200 sugar cubes, a piece of cardboard, glue or frosting and popsicle stick, paint brush, food coloring, and an ounce of water.
2. Start your first layer of the pyramid. Make a square with the cubes by gluing them on the cardboard. There should be ten cubes on each side of the square.
3. Make another layer of cubes, this time only using nine on each side. These will be placed on top of the first layer a couple of centimeters in from the first layer.
4. Continue the next layer with eight cubes on each side, then the next layer with seven cubes on each side. Keep building your layers until you are down to one cube. Make sure that each layer is pushed in about 2-3 inches to the center so the the pyramid becomes narrower as it gets taller.
5. Next mix an ounce of water with a couple of drops of food coloring. Finally use the paintbrush to dye your pyramid.
*if you decide to use the frosting instead of the glue, use the popsicle stick to spread it and make sure to let the frosting dry and harden before you build the next layer
I like it. No matter who's idea it was. ;) j/k It is a great idea to tie it all together.
