And speaking of candy heart pops, yet another one of mine to share (I swear this isn’t turning into only me, I just have an incredible busy and productive month. I promise to slack off in a big way come March. Maybe April.) I made these kid-friendly candy pops for Valentine’s Day–and they really are kid-friendly since my four-year old made hers all by herself, the blobs and squiggles I mean–for Red Tricyle. Find the how-tos HERE.

Maybe just a little contrary to Valentine’s Day (smashing conversation hearts), but really, that wasn’t my intent (I left one in tact, see?). I made these crushed conversation heart chocolate cookie pops for a guest post over at The TomKat Studio today. Find all the how-tos HERE.

Sweetly Demented

meaghan mountford — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:32:00 +0000

I have to admit, I’m fascinated by and very much appreciate when clever people find ways to take sweets and goodies to a deeper level of dark. Check out Sweetly Demented, a “confectionary line ranging from, the morbid, shabby chic, woodzie, tastefully disgusting & sometimes just plain rude.” These handmade chocolates, marshmallows, caramels and toffee are exquisitely crafted. Shown are the “Grandma,” the “Large Silver Buck’s Antler,” and the “Wood Grain Toffee.” Find the shop HERE.

Valentine’s Crafts for Kids

meaghan mountford — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:57:35 +0000

My marshmallow love bugs are included in this roundup of Valentine’s crafts for kids over at Parenting. The roundup includes some edibles, some not, but it’s a great roundup, so I had to share with you. They also included our own Amanda‘s so clever lollipop flowers (made with egg cartons!) from Crafts by Amanda. And I adore this idea for making a rose stamp from celery. What genius from Maureen Cracknell Handmade.
