Message: hello,
I was wondering how you would go about dying sugar cubes with the colours being consistent.  This would be a great help to my project.  Thank you

Are these sugar cubes intended to remain edible, or is this for a construction project that will not be eaten? And do you mean consistent when comparing one sugar cube to another, or consistent coloring throughout the cube?

The smoothest color on the outside of the sugar cubes will be obtained by spraying liquid food coloring in an airbrush. If you do not have access to an airbrush, the best substitute would be the finest water sprayer bottle you can find, such as a plastic sprayer bottle sold for misting house plants. You will need to experiment to determine what dilution in water produces the best results. You will need to avoid spraying large amounts of liquid on the cubes or they will melt, of course. If more dye is required, allow them to dry between thin coats. The dye will not actually bond to the sugar, but will act as a paint since the cubes will not have to withstand washing.

I do not know of any way to dye the insides of sugar cubes, if that is, instead, what you are asking about.
