Sweet, sweet, Igloo*

Igloo - made from sugar cubes. 
Made blue in lightroom because it reminds me of the Ice Hotel in Sweden



 First make some royal icing

 Then make a layer of sugar cubes and icing like this - the more hands the better!


 Make sure you have a two-year old handy to lick the beaters**. Then laugh at her 'icing beard' to make her grumpy.



Make another layer of sugar cubes using the icing as your cement.   



Then go and have a shower with the two year old and leave the Igloo building to the engineer of the house. 
With a great deal of difficulty and huffing and puffing, when you return from the shower, the Igloo should look something like this. 
Good enough to eat?

* Warning, reading the following post might be enough to give you diabetes. 
** Please disconnect beaters before giving to your child :)
