A week later, I know, my first batch didn’t come out so well. Even though the recipe’s directions are very clear, my brain is not (!) and the first time around I boiled the gelatin along the corn syrup and sugar mixture. First batch was very very flat, no matter how long I whipped it.
Second time around: Success!
I’ve been a fan of Brownie Points ever since reading the post on Homemade Magic Shell (check it out!) and bookmarked the Basic Marshmallow recipe probably a year ago. However, I had ingredient issues, the grocery stores around my old apartment never ever had gelatin. Seriously!
When we moved to this apartment the tiny C-Town, two blocks away, turned out to have an awesome Baking aisle! Finally, stocked with gelatin, I made Marshmallows today! They are simple to make but a sticky affair, mind you.
They also take 10-12 hours to set so the end product post will in a few. For now, I will leave you with a shot of Betty (my Kitchenaid) whipping that Marshmallow into fluffiness.
Aaaaaaaah Baked… I have mentioned a few times I’ve had an e-crush on Baked. So, being that Baked is very close to Ikea, where I had to go this past weekend anyways, this week’s “Go Here” was obvious (not to mention exciting!). Sounds like a plan doesn’t it? Except I was still sore (very sore and did I mention cranky?) from unloading boxes off of trucks and carrying stuff up and down stairs ergo (ergo!) perusing Pax wardrobes and Malm headboards had quickly turned into a tragic affair.
In comes my knight in shiny armor (otherwise known as my husband), and suggests , I should sit still by the water that he would get some cupcakes for us to enjoy. He might have just wanted to get the hell away from me, but it still was a very nice gesture.
