I had always assumed that marshmallows would be really difficult to make, but quite the contrary! I did a test run, got the bride and groom to taste test and it was a winner. I made the marshmallows the weekend before the wedding, I was assured that they would keep for a few weeks in an airtight container which was a massive bonus.
From a sugar syrup to Marshmallows
So I had to make a massive 312 marshmallows, so doubled up on the recipe and did this 3 times, I was covered in syrup, there was icing sugar everywhere, but they were made!
Foolishly I thought that this was going to be the main bulk of the work, but then I realised I had to pack these marshmallows into 104 individual cellophane bags, and then tie a bow on each one.
And so it began!
I had to make a little funnel to get the marshmallows into the bags as otherwise the sides were covered in icing sugar and looked a bit crap.
Once in, it was time to tie the bows, i'm a bit of a perfectionist so started out making sure each bow was the perfect size and that the printed side of the ribbon was showing, after spending hours tying bows and only being half way through my total this perfectionism gave way to practicalism and they definitely became a little less perfect, but I guess home made should look home made!
And they were finished, all 104 of them. It was a really fun thing to do and I was really pleased with how they turned out. Also they taste so much better than shop bought marshmallows.
Most importantly, the (most beautiful) bride gave them the seal of approval. It was the best day and I couldn't be happier for two of my favourite people being married. Congratulations Annie and Bryan. x
