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

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 love the Subway Art. Hope I win, then I can try it out.
Cathy says
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 🙂
valeri erler says
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!
