Birthday Cake Marshmallows

Birthday cake, meet marshmallow. Soft, pillowy, and bursting with flavor, these sugary delights are a childhood classic but with a sweet twist!

We've seen them all around, "birthday cake marshmallows," "cake batter mallows," "funfetti marshmallows," but have any actually tasted like how they sound?

The answer, if you can guess, is no.

Luckily, we have the perfect fix. Our Amoretti® Natural Birthday Cake Extract is the burst of flavor this delicacy needs!

Remember those large, super sweet, store-bought vanilla sheet cakes you used to get for your birthday party?

Now imagine the flavor bottled up an put into the form of an extract. That is this product to a "T," minus all the sugar of course. 

The recipe is a simple marshmallow base that you can easily swap out with any of our other water soluble extracts! 

These plush treats are perfect for parties! Depending on the size you choose to cut, you can serve 10-12 people.

Why make a cake when you can just stick a candle in these mallows!

 

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup water divided
  • 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin .25 ounces each
  • ⅔ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 cups cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Amoretti® Natural Birthday Cake Extract
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp of rainbow non-pariels

Directions

  • Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with plastic wrap or parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Place 1/2 cup of water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and sprinkle gelatin on top of water to soak/bloom.
  • While the gelatin is blooming, combine the 1/4 cup of water, corn syrup, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Boil hard for 1 minute.
  • Turn the mixer on the lowest speed and carefully pour the hot sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture. Beat on high for 12 minutes or until the mixture is fluffy and forms stiff peaks. Add in the extract and beat until just combined.
  • Finally, the best part, add the sprinkles and mix on high for 30 seconds.
  • Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a greased spatula to smooth the top. Cover the candy with a piece of greased plastic wrap (if using parchment, sift powdered sugar on top) pressing it down lightly to seal the covering to the top of the candy.
  • Allow the marshmallow candy to rest overnight.
  • When ready, mix together cornstarch and powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Using an oiled kitchen knife or bench sraper (for even cuts), cut the marshmallow candy into strips, then into 1 inch squares. Dredge the marshmallows lightly in the cornstarch mixture and devour.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
