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.

I'd probably use the markers for cookies and eat the marshmallows (they don't last in our house LOL!)

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. 🙂

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).
