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.

my cutest was a panda bear i made out of cupcakes. I used a powederd donut hole for his head. So cute. i want to get this book so bad.
i love her melted snowman cookies. they are so cute and such a great idea.
My cutest thing was when I made cake pops for Easter…chicks, Bonnie’s and eggs.
My cutest i’ve ever made were pirate cupcakes. I had half the cupcake have peaks in the icing and airbrushed it blue to look like water. And then the other side had crushed up grahmn crackers for sand a plastic pirate hat ring in the center. They were very cute.
I loved the shamrock/St. Patty’s Day marshmallows. I’m hoping to try those this year.
I made my niece owl cake pops for her owl themed 8th birthday! She and her friends LOVED them!!
I love all the super cool marshmallow ideas!! Who woulda thunk it?!!
I thought the melting snowman cookies were cute and also the bunny cupcakes.
That book looks like so much fun! My daughter would go ga-ga over it for sure. I think the cutest treats I ever made were the Elmo and Oscar cake pops I made for my daughter’s second birthday.
Anything this girl does, is amazing. Wish I could harness that talent! I love her Harlequin Romance Novel tCupcake Toppers..so adorable! Great giveaway!!
years ago I made my grandaughter a barbie doll cake and it turned out terrific
Love that conversation heart wreath!!! Will have to make this next year
I am a good baker and I love to craft. However, sometimes I feel like my ‘cute” factor in decorating is limited to my second grader skills. However, having the right tools has helped, as I have gotten giant decorating tips for frosting cupcakes and making them pretty. I did make pumpkin shaped cake pops for a Harvest Party and they were cute. Going to continue to practice and be inspired by all the wonderful decorators and bloggers I follow!
I just saw the Hostess cookies on The Decorated Cookie and they totally make me smile. I have a sister who is addicted to Ho Hos. I think she needs a batch of those cookies.
I make a lamb cake every year and we have fun decorating it. Thanks for the chance to enter.
I love those letters on sticks! How perfect for a centerpiece……..or just to eat!
Allyson
I like the Snowman Marshmallows that she made for a Christmas card. Thanks for the chance to enter.
On April Fools Day last year I made trick cupcakes. There were some that looked like mashed potatoes w/ a pat of butter and some that looked like spaghetti and meatballs…of course they were really sugary treats but they looked cute and the kids thought they were great!
I love the caramel apple cookies on a stick with no caramels or apples…they look amazing and are cute as can be!
I made a valentine shaped cake a few years ago with pink icing and decorated it with valentine colors of M&M’s.
I like her rainbow cake
I just love this book. I work in a preschool where we celebrate everything! It would be great to have this for inspiration! One of the cutest things we did was Leprechaun Snack mix – mix a scoop of lucky charms, a scoop of corn pops ( pieces of gold ) and mini m&m’s ( pieces of the rainbow ) in a snack bag. Kids love it!
I love the cake I made for my Daughter’s 1st birthday in 1981. I made a stand up teddy bear cake and put it on a larger cake. The teddy bear was for her alone. So when my Granddaughter was born, I found the same teddy bear stand up pan and made her a 1st birthday cake like her mother had.
Does a gingerbread house count as dessert if you didn’t eat it? I made a really cute one for Thanksgiving one time, along with a pumpkin patch and a teepee too. It was a lot of fun
I would love to try making the little rabbit cookies on a stick, so cute!
I really want to make adorable Owl Cake Pops!
I LOVE the 80’s mix tape cookie! So cute!! You are just too too clever!
I’ve made some chick cake pops that were pretty sute!
Cutest I’ve made: s’mores pops. Cutest I want to make: there are too many options to choose just one!
I would love this book tho don’t know that I have the talent to use it!!!
The sandwich cookies over at The Decorated Cookie are absolutely adorable. I think they may be my favorite.
I really want to make the decorated cookies for a baby shower and also a wedding shower. Sooooo cute.
Lots of cute things over at The Decorated Cookie. I really like the Mummy Cookie Pops.
The new baby cookies are adorable!!!! I love her blog. 🙂
Earlier this month I made a penguin smash cake for a 1 year old birthday. So fun!
Her rice crispy treat mini cupcakes are adorable!
I made the gingerbread cupcakes from your site. I decorated gingerbread men, snowmen, trees, and bells to go on top of the cupcakes. i thought they were way too cute.
The romance novel cupcakes are awesome.
i loved what i saw on sugarlicious. can’t wait to try some of the ideas. i think my grandkids will love them
This book looks so fun! I’ve made a lot of favorite treats over the years. Probably birthday cakes have been the cutest but how to choose just one? A detailed cowboy boot, a Nascar track for an 8th birthday – in the shape of an 8 & a teapot for a dear friend are my three top favorites. Sorry, I just can’t choose one. I hope I win!
Oh my she is talented! I love the little chicken cookies. So very cute.
the cutest would be a train cake with individual cars
I love all the stick “stuff”… they’re so cute and I’ve never done any yet!!
I made some really fun and cute cupcakes for a BBQ themed birthday party. We made sugar cookie “french fries”, corn on the cob cupcakes, ice cream cone cupcakes, hamburger cupcakes, and a whole bunch of other things. It was fun!
One year I made my sister a sushi cake and it turned out great! I would love to make owl cake pops for my daughter’s graduation.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this adorable gift pack.
My cousin and I made some really cute cupcakes and sugar cookies for Easter last year using marshmallows and colored sugar.
I think that Desserts in jars are adorable! I love decorating cuit cookies for events, and have had that opportunity, just not the sweet little jars yet 🙂
I visited A Decorated Cookie and want to try all kinds of things, but I love the Carmel Apple on a stick cookie she does, its realy cuit!
Hello and thank you for the opportunity…..One of the cutest things I ever made was a Handbag Cakepop for my teenage daughter. I made it for no reason except that I Love her!!
