How do you make sugar cubes?!
4 cups granulated sugar
8 teaspoons water
Silicone or plastic candy molds (these come in many shapes and sizes – choose one which fits your needs)
Small cookie sheets lined with parchment paper
Place sugar in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the water. Mix it with your hands then knead for about a minute making sure to there are no lumps. You want the sugar to be moist … similar to the consistency of wet sand.
Once you get that done, pack sugar mixture as firmly as you can into the molds. Scrape off excess with an icing tool or flat side of a chef’s knife; making sure your sugar is level with sides of the mold.
Place the cookie sheet with the parchment paper over the mold and invert it. Remove the mold and let the sugar forms dry on the parchment paper for six hours in a cool oven. Alternately, turn the oven on to 200°f and leave them there for 10 minutes.
Store in a cool, dry, place.

But I would just buy them. It's cheaper and easier to do.
Hope you find what your looking for.

mix sugar with corn syrup and put it in a shallow square pan and let it set.by moning it will be hard enough to cut in squares
To 1 cup of white sugar (or other granulated sugar like demararra, brown, etc) add 1 teaspoon cold water (or 1 t food coloring or flavoring). Toss the sugar in a large mixing bowl until it's damp, then press the sugar very firmly in a 9x9" square pan with a piece of waxed paper. Cut lines in the sugar with a thin bladed knife or an angel food cake wire cutter.
Dry the sugar in a 250 degree oven for an hour or so, then carefully break apart the cubes.
Molded sugar, e.g.., sugar cubes, is made by mixing eggwhites or egg white powder with the sugar and pressing it into a mold while damp. You can also knead coloring (use paste type) into the sugar for colors. Finshed cubes can be decorated with royal icing flowers and trim.
This is the same recipe used to make those panorama sugar eggs I remember as a kid at Easter time.
It's like working with wet sand and making sand sculptures.
Extra-Strength Sugar Mold Recipe
Ingredients
5 cups granulated sugar
1 lightly stirred egg white
Directions
Place sugar in a mixing bowl. Make a well, then add egg white. Add coloring (see sugar molding instructions). Mix by hand, kneading for about 1 minute until sugar is moistened and feels and packs like wet sand, making sure there are no lumps. Keep sugar mixture covered with damp cloth when not in use. For a sparkly effect, add 1/4 teaspoon of gum arabic to mixture. For further information see Sugar molding instructions.
Molding sugar is so much fun and so creative, it's a shame to only make cubes.
Ya don't make 'em, ya buy 'em at the grocery where you buy granulated sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar.
who cares. we all buy them. you should too. some things are just too much trouble to make.
