HI! I love that you came here and said “love it”! Wish we could eat some together 🙂

Hi Sarah 🙂 Sorry to hear of your marshmallow woes. The base and the filling are the hard parts so it will be something simple. So without knowing what the marshmallow is turning out like I’ll take a guess. A lot of beaters have different speeds so it could be an under whipping problem, ie; if your beater isn’t as fast as mine it may take a bit longer. It needs to have stiff peaks, so if you lift the beaters out the marshmallow peaks will stand up stiff and not fall back down. If you have whisk attachments you can use those and it will whip into stiff peaks easier. If you’ve been whipping it for ever and it’s not increasing in volume it could be that the sugar syrup wasn’t softly boiling, it needs to have thickened and be ‘syrupy’ rather than be thin like water. Also you need to start whipping the syrup straight away without letting it cool first. Maybe you could just have a few practices making the marshmallow alone and setting it in a lined and lightly sprayed tin to practice (so as not to watse any other ingredients). I really hope that helps, baking can be such a technical (and very frustrating) thing sometimes but so satisfying when it turns out perfect!
