UPDATE: Congratulations to our winners!! Julia, Ruth, Maureen, Regina and Cathryn!!! Your prizes are on their way. And thank you to all for participating! There will be pleeeeenty of chances to win more great prizes, I promise.
I'm back with another giveaway to celebrate the almost-release of Sugarlicious! which will be available next month. To learn more about the book CLICK HERE. I know, I know I teased you with the actual book. Forgive me!! I can't give the actual book away quite yet. Soon, though, promise!
This week is all about.... marshmallows!! Marshmallows are so quick and easy to decorate. Of course, there are plenty o' marshmallow decorating ideas in Sugarlicious. By the way, have you pre-ordered yet? This week I'm giving 5 (FIVE!) of you:
To learn more about the different brands of edible writers and their uses, CLICK HERE to see my prior post. For fine-line decorating, I prefer the FooDoodler 10-pack Fine Line food coloring markers. Did I mention I'm giving FIVE of you a pack? I give and give for the sake of food art.
Some tips on making subway art marshmallows:
- Gather your words. I did some that are Sugarlicious-related, but I also considered Valentine's Day words, like "love," "you," "me," "heart," "sweetie," "whips" (hey, I don't know what you are all into...)
- Open a document with a word program and type your words in a bunch of different fonts. Then use the markers to copy the words and fonts, making some words large, some small, some vertical, some horizontal.
- If it helps, cut out a slip of paper 1-inch by 4-inches. This is about the size of a marshmallow if you were to wrap the paper around the side of the marshmallow. Then, plan out your subway art first. I wasn't so precise and just eyeballed it.
- Add a lollipop stick if you like.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Subway Art. Hope I win, then I can try it out.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. We have tried writing on marshmallows and the markers got clogged with the cornstarch they put on the mallows to keep them from sticking. Maybe we need different food markers (pick me to win :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win. My boyfriend and I arent huge fans of marshmallows unless theyre roasted in the fire! I'm thinking of decorating them and then roasting them together when he arrives on valentines day!
ReplyDeleteI love your marshmallows! I made some sugar marshmallows for a class birthday. What a hit! Would love some markers! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I only decorate marshmallows with fire, and occasionally with chocolate and graham crackers...but these would be too cute for a chocolate fondue party!
ReplyDeleteWhat great inspiration you're giving us! My 12 year old granddaughter has developed a love for decorating and would absolutely have a blast using the "pens". Thanks so much for this opportunity!
ReplyDeleteCute marshallows! Your book looks like it is going to be fabulous!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win a set!
I want to win:) Wow, I never realised marshmellows were so versatile! I'd love a set of markers to draw little messages to my grandsons on marshmellows, cookies, etc. They would love it and love to help me! What a great way to get them interested in baking AND helping them to write (well, the 9 yr old knows how to write but hte 2 yr old doesn't!)! I love your blog and your book looks so AWESOME! How proud you must be to finally see your baby "delivered" in all its glorious colors! Just the sneak peaks you've shown are great so I imagine the book in its whole will be a great help to those of us that are new to edible decorating!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your inspirations and ideas.
