Marshmallows The New Cupcake


Marshmallows... fluffy clouds of melt in the mouth sweetness! No, I'm not talking about those rounded pink and white marshmallows in cellophane bags you buy in the supermarket, these are usually too sweet and either too squishy or too firm. No, I'm talking about hand made designer marshmallows full of natural sweetness and dipped in soft powdered sugar that sticks to your face when you take that first bite...Mmm!


These pretty marshmallows below are from Food and Cook, if your not fluent in Spanish, you will have to use the "translator" at the top of their page to switch to English. Their cute lavender marshmallows are coloured by crushing up crystallised violets, what a sweet idea, so much nicer than mixing food colouring.

These pretty heart shaped marshmallows are from Good Life Eats, a lovely place for food inspiration. Their recipe can be found "here". These sweet marshmallows are flavoured with freeze dried raspberries, cut into heart shapes. Originally for Valentines but a lovely idea for any time of the year.

You could also use chalk labels which I discovered the other day, see the links below.  I'm thinking of using the chalk labels on some white ceramic storage jars to add a little more interest, they'd be great for homemade jams and chutneys too and your craft storage.
