marshmallow subway art
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 making marshmallow subway art
how to draw on marshmallows
To learn more about the different brands of edible writers and how to use them, 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.
And I made some Valentine’s Day ones, too.
And if subway art isn’t your thing, you can do a lot more with edible writers.
UPDATE: GIVEAWAY ENDED
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!

I may have to try this, my son loves marshmallows.
I LOVE marshmallows and just discovered edible writing pens – am definitely making these!
I would love a set of these markers! I've never used them but I think it would be a fun tool.
i would love a set of the markers, but would really be thrilled with a sneak peak of the book!!
Meaghan this is adorable! Adorable!!!! I haven't played with marshmallows but I love this idea! I used food doodlers on some baby shower cookies and the crowd was a little nervous about eating them. They thought crazy Katrina was sniffing the Sharpies again. 😉
i think ediable markers is such a great and easy idea for decorating!
I've made many different flavors of marshmallows, but I've never doodled on them or created things THIS fun! LOVE it!!!!!
They look so cute,,,
All I can say is I would be honored to win something that you use for your wonderful stuff. Like I said before you are my guru. Was just going to order some markers but I'd rather use the ones you recommend. Hope I am honored with a win. Great stuff. Just keep it up.
I would love a set of those markers! I've never used them before but they look like a lot of fun. A sneak peek at your book would be awesome!
I need some of those markers. Think i'll be making a purchase soon. Very cute idea.
I have never done this but it looks totally awesome…would love to try it.

Those marshmallows are so cool–I would love a set of the markers, and of course, I would love to see the preview of your new book.
Love those marshmallows! My son keeps telling me it's allll about marshmallows! I can't imagine what he'd do if I wrote on them!
I LOVE this idea! So cute!!
I love the Subway Art. Hope I win, then I can try it out.
Great 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 🙂
I'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!
I love your marshmallows! I made some sugar marshmallows for a class birthday. What a hit! Would love some markers! 🙂
Too 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!
What 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!
Cute marshallows! Your book looks like it is going to be fabulous!

How adorable.
What a grand craft to do for a young child's party or even and adult gathering.
I really need that 16-page booklet like right now. Every time I try to do something with marshmallows turns out a disaster I really need to learn to make something cute with them.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I love what you have shared in the book so far.
Congratulations on the book! Please pick me to win, I'd love to get my hands on some good food markers! 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway! I love love love your blog!
Love this giveaway! Cute idea! I'd also kick it up a bit and dip the top in chocolate or sprinkles!

Congratulations! Such a fun giveaway too!

This is too cool! I just found your blog today and my littlest two children are sitting next to me (okay hopping up and down on the couch next to me) asking if we could try writing on some marshmallows for snack. Too cute!
tiggerwolf@peoplepc.com
My daughter and I made homemade marshmallows/hot chocolate for Christmas for her friends this year. Some of these would be fun to try for next year!
Can't wait to see the book!
OMG your marshmallows are too cute!!!
Your writing looks "perfect!" I'm going to have to try this!! Maybe for now, I can "practice" with some stale marshmallows I have, and my son's Crayola Markers-these are NON-toxic!!
Or, hope to win this giveaway!!!
I'm really MORE excited about your book!!! I would be thrilled with a sneak peek and a signed copy!!!
Awesome! My kids and I are going to have to try these marshmallows. Would love a set!
How cool is that – I especially love the Valentine's Day ones!
Thanks 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!
Thank you for your inspirations and ideas.
Susan

I'd probably use the markers for cookies and eat the marshmallows (they don't last in our house LOL!)
Every year I have a Christmas cookie decorating party fot my daughters' teenage friends. This would be a fun Valentine's party to have with them as well.
congratulations on the book! I am going to have to rush right out and get some of those markers! Very creative!

I usually make my own marshmallows a couple times per year. This year as dessert for valentines day (after being inspired by the chew today) I am making a giant s'mores marshmallow. The hubby loves marshmallows and what better way to end a romantic dinner then tearing into a huge marshmallow. 🙂
What a fun giveaway. Love Subway Art! Seems to be quite popular these days!
I LOVE MARSHMALLOWS!!!!

I love the subway art on the marshmallows and I make a lot of cake pops. I've yet to find a good edible marker, so I would love to try the ones you use. My daughter and I are big food crafters and she's a graphic designer. I will visit your site more often now! Jan L (JanL49@comcast.net).
How super cute! My daughter and I could have so much fun with this. Think they'll work as well on the homemade marshmallows I intend to learn how to make this year?
