Pumpkins, colorful leaves, apples, corn and haystacks…
All signs of my favorite season of the year, FALL!!
With a new holiday coming up, it’s time for me to make a new JET-PUFFED marshmallow project, yeay!
This year, I was able to partner up with FloraCraft and Chef Rubber to create something sweet.
FloraCraft provided me with fabulous Styrofoam shapes and Chef Rubber provided the fabulous colorants and decorating supplies. [Read more…]
Finally!!! The time to share with you my super awesome Witch On A Broom Marshmallow Showpiece has come!!
I finished this piece several weeks back and have been dying to post photos.
As you already know, every holiday I make a special marshmallow showpiece for KRAFT Jet-Puffed Marshmallows. For this year’s Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas I decide to step up my game and challenge myself to do something different. I partnered up with FloraCraft and Chef Rubber to make one-of-a-kind sugar art.
Last week I made very special marshmallow pops for my friend, Shanna from Pineapple and Coconut, daughter’s 6th birthday party.
Coincidentally, my mom had to make the same design for something else. Now, if you follow me you know that my mom is who taught me how to design marshmallows. We always say that marshmallow art, as with everything, it’s all about adding your own touch. We’ve made many similar designs over the years but we can always tell who has done which one because we have very distinct styles.
Wowzers, this summer has flown by!!
Time to switch gears and get ready for my favorite part of the year – Fall and Winter. Sure I love having the kiddos at home, all the outdoor nights eating s’mores, and the hot water fun but there’s something magical about the leaves turning and the weather cooling down that makes me feel all giddy inside.
This year I’m particularly excited for back-to-school season. My boys are 3.5 and 5 years old. One will go into his second year in preschool and my other will go into Kindergarten. They are both finally going to be going to the same school and having the same schedule. Woohoo!! I’m that mom that make special gifts for the teachers and sends in special treats every special occasion. Teachers like me, haha!
To quick off this school year with A+ extra credit parent points, I’m going to be making my boy’s teachers baskets full of Apple Marshmallow Pops.
Making these pops is like second nature to me. I’ve been making marshmallow pops and art for over four years now. Today you’re in luck my friend…. I’m going to teach you how to WOW your kid’s teachers too!

Hands up, who here loves The Muppets??
(my hand is up) I do, I do!
I have really sweet memories of growing up watching Muppet Babies and their various movies. Their humor is timeless and innocent.
I’m guessing you have figured out a pattern here…..
Every holiday I make something grand with marshmallows for KRAFT Jet-Puffed Marshmallows. Two years ago I made a whole dessert table then last year I made a Star Spangled Flag cake and this year I challenged myself to do something different. Of course I still used marshmallows but this time I used them in a different way!
With this cake, I wanted to show how versatile marshmallows are especially for cake decorating.
I used marshmallows in four different ways: fondant, Rice Krispies Treats, decorated, and camouflaged (cut and colored). [Read more…]
June is Dairy Month, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month, Seafood Month and Turkey Lover’s Month…. but all I can think about in June is Father’s Day!
I have so many wonderful memories with my dad. I am lucky to say that he has been a great father to me and my siblings.
Now that I have children, he’s proven to also be an amazingly loving and fun grandpa or “abuelito” as we would say in Spanish. Every year we celebrate him with a little cake, lots of hugs, kisses and by reminding him how much we love and appreciate him 🙂
