Create Valentine dishes with edible paint
For a party or special dinner, try decorating plain dishes with icing. Designs will be perfectly edible, and if you make a mistake while painting, just lick it off and start over. (Don't tell anyone your tongue made contact with their plate.)
To make this "paint," I mixed 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of water, and 2 drops of liquid food coloring. Apply with a paintbrush. If needed, run your fingernail around any wiggly edges to smooth them out before they dry.

Love this Jessica! I totally want to do this!
I bet kids would like it. Or big kids like us. :)
That is awesome... I love this... and not only for Valentine... Great Idea... Thanks for sharing

great idea! Thank you for sharing!
:P laughing about the licking. Very cool.
This is such a great idea !!! This could be so cute for a surprise ! I'm really thinking of doing a special dinner using this idea !
Thanks so much !
Great idea! Now white dishes are in right now too. The only thing is if you had to put salty food on top, I would think it would get a little sweet. Too bad you can't make the icing more savory.
this is a great idea....A+J, already personalized for me and my husband! :D
Wow, simple and beautiful!!!
cute idea. great job -- works for any occasion.
so, so simple, lovely + clever! thank you for sharing your great ideas! :)
that is the cutest thing.
Aww... so SWEET!
(How many time did you lick Alex's? I won't tell him!)

this is such a sweet idea!
This is so clever! I can't justify buying lots of plates for different different holidays, but I could do this!
Speechless. This will solve everything, forever.
What a great (and simple) idea! I think I might do this for my girls' Valentine's Day breakfast plates!
I read your blog all the time, but I just had to comment on these plates. They are SO CUTE!!! I love this idea. Thank you for sharing it!
Brilliant! I just love simple but WOWEE ideas like this. Can't wait to plan my V-Day party with some of these accents.
You have such amazing ideas! Thanks for sharing them :-)
Oh how fun! I think this would be sweet at any point in the year. Maybe draw up some colorful balloons to accompany a piece of birthday cake?
You could, maybe, substitute the powdered sugar with corn starch. It will go with the savory dishes as well.
Thanks for the cute idea.
A wonderful idea. My daughter would love this while drinking her milk!
"Don't tell anyone your tongue made contact with their plate." - Hilarious!!! Thanks for the early morning laugh!
Brilliant! It's made even cleverer by being so simple :) Thanks!
so great and easy! yay!
thanx =)
Brilliant Jessica. So great to meet you as well!
Love this idea! In the past, I have used kids washable markers to write names or draw doodles along the outside border of dishes as place markers (not where food would touch), to rave reviews. This is a fun, safe and unexpected way to add some pizzazz to any meal :)
What a cool idea! Looks so cute!
Absolutely delicious! The greatest idea for Valentine's Day.
A kiss from Portugal and Congratulations for the fantastic blog!
I was just thinking the other day I wanted to paint dishes but have them edible. Does this wash off once you clean them?
Completely.
nice picture
What a fun and fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing.
Love the hearts on the cups. Super cute idea!

did you use a stencil for the letters?
I love it! We're going to try it for sure this year.
That's just great ... thanks for sharing the idea!
This is wonderful! Mainly because you've found a way to paint with SUGAR. Bless you.
I love sugar. :)
Anonymous, nope, I freehanded.
What a fun idea. This would be great to personalize dishes for a party. Love this!

So brilliant! Just shared on my blog, many thanks! :)

I love the idea, but the suggestion of LICKING someone else's plate is unbelievable. I hope none of you actually do this.
That was a joke.
I love this!!! I did it this morning with the kids and it was so much fun. I can't wait to show off my decorated plate tomorrow at a valentines party!!
I love the idea! shame I found it today! will be perfect for the Valentine's Day 2013 ;)
Genius idea, Jessica! Absolutely love it to bits.
This is so fun!! I shared it on my blog too: http://www.vixenmade.com/2014/02/15-valentines-day-party-diys.html
