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.

The cutest thing I have made recently was owl cake pops – darling but alot of work!!
I made the cutest groundhog day cupcakes…..took the idea from Family
Fun. We made enough for each of my three boys to take in to their classes. It was a countertop full of groundhogs!
I love her owl cookies. Yes I love owls.
The cutest thing ever made was actually made by my daughter who is 13. It was a fall cake with 3D trees and leaves and pumpkins – it was then I realized the talent she had. If I win this, I will give them to her!
I’ve made melted snowmen cookies!
The cutest thing I ever made was cookies shaped like fish and dolphins and decorated with Royal Icing. It was hard work but they came out great!
I love the pac man cookies!!
The Decorated has adorable stuff! One thing that caught my eye was the Frosty the Marshmallow man (on a stick) So cute!
I am now a follower of the Decorated Cookie blog! I love all the stuff she does with marshmallows!
The cutest cupcakes I ever tried to make were shaped and decorated like boxes of popcorn

It’s hard for me to pick just one, but I’d have to say the cutest thing I ever made were Pink Fuzzy Slipper Cookies out of nutter butter cookies and white chocolate.
Once again, it’s so hard to pick my favorite thing from The Decorated Cookie, but if pressed, I’d have to pick the sugar cookies decorated with trees and falling leaves.
I am not that creative! I made sugar cookies pumpkins. I used orange color sanding sugar and mini chocolate chips for the eyes, nose and mouths. Not very creative, but they turned out very cute!
I just visited The decorated Cookie..How in the world can I choose one thing! lol I loved her site but my favorite would be the melted snowmen cookies. Everything was cute and there are several things I would like to make.
I would love to learn how to use fondant to make cute little treats.
April Fools Day Cupcakes…they were decorated to look like spaghetti and meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy and peas and carrots. My daughter’s Pre-K class loved it!!
The cutest treat I’ve made were Santa cookies for my son’s Christmas Party at school. I think I got the recipe/idea from Taste of Home. Triangle shaped sugar cookies, corn syrup brushed over cookie, red sprinkles for hat, mini marshmallow(s)for the pompom and furry hat rim, coconut for the beard, red hot for the nose, mini choc chips for the eyes…So fun! Lots of work but the kids and teacher LOVED them!

I’m all over those frogs on lily pads cupcakes. We call our grandaughter “Lilly Bug”, and those cupcakes would be perfect for her 3rd birthday this year!
The cutest thing I ever made was for New Year’s Eve this last year. I made cucakes and then put cake pops in them with sprinkles on the cake pop to make it look like the 2012 NYC Ball. They were a big hit!
I think the cutest thing I ever made was a caterpillar cake for my niece. Each small cake was a segment of the body. It took awhile to make but turned out well.

I also visited Meghan’s blog and can’t wait to read more past treats as well as future. The more recent one I liked was the Conversation Heart Cookies. Sure wish I had seen them over the week-end when I was trying to make some “unique” heart cookies!! Hers were way more cuter and more edible than mine!
