You all know how much I love to share things that excite me right? Well, there’s no holding back the excitement today!! Meghan Mountford, author of one of my favorite cookie decorating books and the creative brain behind The Decorated Cookie and editor of Edible Crafts at Craft Gossip, has just released her second book, Sugarlicious, expanding her cookie craft to cupcakes, cakes and other sweet treats.
Meaghan is one of those bakers who takes cute treats to a whole new level. Sugarlicous is packed with 200 pages of adorable edible art, beautiful color photos and illustrated step-by-step directions for both the novice and seasoned bakers. The book includes cookies, marshmallows, cupcakes, cakes, cake pops, petits fours and candy clay.
You’ll learn to put sweets on sticks, color icing and frosting, pipe with a decorating bag, make fondant decorations, use edible writers and icing sheets, paint and stamp with food coloring, decorate with candies and sprinkles, and so much more. Froggy cupcakes, milkshake cake pops, mustache and bow tie cookie pops, sparkly marshmallows, a lawn ornament cake and pretty painted petits fours are just a tiny sampling of what’s inside.

For Groundhog’s Day, we (our 3 kids and myself) made a pig cake to celebrate the corny holiday.
For my son’s first birthday, I made him a 3d beehive cake for him to smash through. He loved it!
My cutest dessert I ever made were chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting and I made marshmallow fondant and cut out little hearts for the top… They were so simple and gorgeous!
I would love to learn how to make cake pops – my sister in law is getting married in November and she’s asked me to make her wedding cake……so some new ideas would be great!!
Last year for Valentine’s Day we made conversation heart cupcakes. With fun sayings on top – so cute
Please enter me in this Giveaway! This would be GREAT to have for my daughters upcoming nuptials!
My favorite treat from her blog is the Christmas Rudolph cookies.. They are SO adorable!
For Valentine’s Day my teenaged daughter and I made cookies decorated with royal icing and sprinkles. They were so pretty that we posted them on Facebook!
The cutest treats I’ve ever made were Mickey and Minnie mouse ear hat cupcakes for my nephew’s 3rd birthday and my niece’s 2nd birthday last year. I made the hat shapes with icing and cut the tips off of Hershey kisses to make the ears. His were iced blue and her’s were pink with white polka dots and a pink bow between the ears!
Polar bear cupcakes are my favorite treat that I have made. They were so cute I didn’t want to eat them!
I follow Meaghan’s blog so picking the favorite item that she’s made is a very tough choice, but I would have to say her Conversation Heart cupcakes were at the top of my list! She is incredible at what she does and I wish her much, much success with this book!
Meghan’s favorite of mine are her north pole cupcakes … So cute and so simple!
LOVE the super hero cookies on The Decorated Cookie blog!!
I’ve just started making cakes for fun, my first was a fairy castle for my daughters first birthday! It took hours and I have no training, but I was so proud, especially after my MIL said I should just buy a cake! Everyone thought the cake was shop bought so I guess it wasn’t that bad! slowly I’m learning so a good book with ideas I can work on and develop on would be awesome!
The cutest item that I’ve made would have to be the “Clawdeen Wolf” (from Monster High) cake that I made this past December for my daughtet’s 9th birthday:)
My daughter would LOVE that!
This year for Valentine’s Day I made tons or sugar cookies. I had bought special cutouts just to try out the recipe. I decorated them with pink buttercream frosting and sprinkles. Everybody raved about how delicious and pretty they were.
I would love to learn how to sculpt with modeling chocolate. Then I can could make the cutest treats ever!!!
The cutest thing I’ve ever made in my opinion was when I used the mini dolls from Wilton & made one to look like a princess, one looked like Dora & one and the third was Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street and placed all 3 “dolls” on top of a sheet cake for the girls birthdays 2 years ago. My daughter & both my nieces birthdays are within 4 days of each other but they are 4, 7 and 11 right now so it’s gotten harder to come up with a unified idea. We didn’t have a combo birthday last year & this year my sister & kids moved out of state so I probably won’t have to do that again. I do love trying to come up with creative ideas so I would love to win this book.
My favorite treat from Meghan’s blog has to be those wonderful fondant gerbera daisies on those cookie pops. They are so summery and colorful.
I love Meghan’s Oreo Cakester spider and bat cookies, they are so cute!
I REALLY want to make some gnome cupcakes! ♥ LOVE GNOMES! ♥
My cutest would have to be the John Deere cake I made for my son’s 3rd birthday.
You know those cute little turkeys made of Rice Krispie treats, Oreos and candy corn? My kids have always thought those were the cutest. Don’t you just think cute food tastes better?
For my son’s 3rd birthday I made him a 3D cake of Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater. He loooooved them and is now asking for a Transformers cake for his birthday, eeeek!!
Meghan’s Harlequin romance novel cupcakes are pretty stinkin’ cute! ♥
My daughter’s 4th birthday is coming up and we plan on a ballerina theme – everything pale pink and gray. I plan to make her Heart Day Sparkly Marshmallows on a stick…in pale pink of course! 🙂
My favorite things from Meghan’s blog are all the yummy looking and cute cupcakes! Love the different decorations she adds to each one!
I love everything at Decorated Cookie but I’ve been wanting to get into Bento meals for the kiddos and would love to try the felt fabric flowers, but fondant that she made to use for the dessert.
I LOVED Meghan’s snowman & cookie snow globes with the mason jars….BEAUTIFUL!!!
I stopped by The Decorated Cookie and choosing one item was very difficult. I finally chose the Marshmallow Love Bugs. They are too cute!!!!!
For Valentine’s Day we made and decorated big heart-shaped chocolate-chip cookies with the perfect shade of pink frosting.
I would have to say the make a wish – fairy wand cookies because my daughter swears she has gillter in her blood! LOL
I’m a struggling baker, so the “cutest” thing I ever made was a Star Wars cake with rolled fondant light sabers. I really need to practice my skills!
I visited the blog and I’m loving the macaroon pops. You could make them work with any party.
Over the holidays, my neighbor’s daughter and I made the cutest snowman cupcakes, with marshmallows, sprinkles and M&Ms. They were adorable and delicious!
My daughter and I made decorated Easter cookies with everyone’s name on their cookie and on a stick.
I would love to learn more about baking and decorating. I finally have more time at home now to be able to do more for my family!
Wow – the Decorated Cookie blog is brilliant! Love the fondant lollipops – something even I could do!
The cutest treat I’ve ever made was a pirate ship complete with pirates for my son’s 4th birthday.
I really like the cute mummy pops from The Decorated Cookie. It is hard to choose just one as there are so many awesome treats.
It’s hard to just pick one but the dessert I made that got the most OMG that’s so cute was making mini apple pie cupcakes. I’d love to start making full sized cakes using fondant.
Right up my alley! Fun fun fun! For my son’s first b-day we made chocolate monkey cupcakes. We used chocolate chips for the eyes, whole vanilla wafers for the mouth, and 1/2 vanilla wafers for the ears.
My cutest dessert was the “Cars” cakelets I made for my daughter’s 2nd birthday! Almost a year later, they’re still one of my most viewed posts!
I can’t wait to check out her book…I’ve got 4 birthdays coming up and could use some help!!!
Gosh! Reading all the creative ideas by the others totally put me to shame. I made a cute rubber sucky bathtub for my girlfriends baby shower. I want to make a sailboat cake for my sons 4th bday party and am nervous as all heck! would love to get ideas from this neat book.
One year I had my then 4 yr old niece help me make a train cake for her cousin who was turning three. We had a sheet cake that we used as the ground with green dyed coconut for grass and pretzel rods for the railroad tracks. We had the pan molds for trains and used rock candy for the smoke for the train. We also used licorice strings for flowers with m & ms. Ok it was not professional but it was cute.
Love the spiders on a stick.
I think the cutest desserts I’ve ever made were the Toy Story Alien cupcakes I made for my son’s 4th birthday.
Totally adorable and totally cute!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Extra Entry – I’d love to make her heart shaped cookie pops with the hard candy middles and the cotton candy coating. It would be the best of 2 worlds.
My favorite Sugarlicious treat (from the blog) are the popsicle cookies on a stick– what a cute idea!!!
