Back in October 2009, Gina M. Brown sent me an email asking if I would like some of my cookie photos to be a part of her and Sandra Salamony’s book, 1000 Ideas for Decorating Cupcakes, Cakes and Cookies.
Um, yes!
I was thrilled to be asked and am so excited to see the finished book, which will be ready in November, and is available for pre-order on Amazon here.
Originally two of my photos were on the cover:
I swear I didn’t photoshop them in! 
As the title informs, there are literally a thousand ‘sweet’ photos from all over the globe. It looks like it’ s going to be a must-have inspirational book for bakers and sugar-artists everywhere!
I’ll keep you posted!
xo,
Marian
An honor to share space with the great Sweetopia! (That’s my pig on a stick on the original cover and the chocolate “cake” cookie on the new one.)
The book looks like it will be a best seller due in no small part to your contributions I’m sure. Congratulations on being a part of it and congratulations to Gina and Sandra.
I liked your pics on the cover! Yeah see you tomorrow, can’t wait, I will come by before I go to my classroom.
Will you adopt me as your sister? I shall be your grasshopper…Thank you sensei! =)
kudos marian!
look forward to the book!
I am going to order mine TODAY! It looks fabulous! Congrats, Marian, for being featured! Actually, I think you need to publish your own book!!!
Man, between this new book and Cake Pops, I will have no shortage of (yeah right) attainable decorating goals! Congrats and I can’t wait to see!
Book looks great, congrats and will look forward to checking it out.
@ meaghan (chic cookies):
Ya lo quiero!!! congratulations Marian

Congrats!

Congratulations, too bad they did not keep you on the front cover.

I’m going to miss seeing your cookies on the cover. How cool that so many people I *know* are featured in in. I’ll have to send it around to all of you for autographs!
Congrats!
That’s so exciting!! Congratulations! I can’t wait to get it. It’s going on my Amazon wish list for sure
I’ve already pre-ordered mine. I would totally love a hard copy reference to your great work.
I wish your cookies were still on the cover though.
I’ve pre-ordered mine today on French Amazon. I’ll receive it in a couple months. I can’t wait to receive it.
I would have kept the owl and squirrel cookies on the cover too.
Wow. That’s so awesome. Congrats!
What ever possessed her to take your gorgeous cookies off the cover? Anyone can do flower desserts – it takes real talent to do owls and tea parties
That is awesome! I just purchased a kopykake on ebay to see how I like it before spending the big bucks on a new one. I hope I can do gorgeous cookies like you do.
Wow! Congratulations, that is wonderful! You should have your own book someday. I love your tutorials!
I recognized your cookies first thing when they sent the draft cover. I have my copies in hand, and can IMMEDIATELY pick out your pics. My lone cake is 0063 on page 29. LOVE your work always!
