Final Edit of Contest Cake
I wanted to thank everyone for the ideas that they gave me for my cake for a competition. I have decided that I cannot, try as I might, defy the basic laws of physics and put a tunnel of marshmallow inside of a cake. And since I cannot alter the cake after baking (i.e. cutting it open, injecting, etc), I have decided to make it an inside out style of cake, and put the marshmallows on top. :) here are the ideas that I tried in order to get to this final edit, and I just want to say that i love marshmallows....but I do not want to eat any for a long time now:
marshmallow fluff
fluff with pudding
fluff with cream cheese
fluff with sugar
fluff with chocolate (two different kinds)
mini-marshmallows (once with chocolate and once without)
large marshmallows
Now, having said that, I still welcome last chance, long shot ideas. :)
Again, though, thank you all for your help!
So, Vegetarian Marshmallows. Can they be done well?
I told a friend that I would make anything for her birthday that she wanted. She chose vegetarian marshmallows. Not being a vegetarian, I had no idea how to approach this, and so far an internet search has revealed that 1) Agar-agar is a great alternative to animal-based gelatine. 2) No, it totally isn't, especially in marshmallows. 3) But there's this stuff called Emes Kosher Gel that totally works! 4) Except it was revealed that their gelatine had animal products in it, and a bunch of vegan candymakers almost went out of business. Back at square one.
I'm lost. Any ideas?
What do you do with marshmallows?
Gourmet marshamallows & homemade ones like a recent Matcha flavored one over on the Coconut & Lime blog are a melt-in-your-mouth treat for me. Locally, a chocolatier makes cinnamon & raspberry ones which I've added to hot chocolate. Of course, I like s'mores, Rice Krispie Treats & roasted over a campfire until gooey & crispy but not rocky road or Fluff. What are your uses for the marshmallow? Anyone attempted homemade ones---hints for success?
