MARSHMALLOW ANIMALS
This is a homemade version of Peeps that I got out of a newspaper and wanted to save it here in case I ever get the inspiration to try them! The marshmallow recipe is adapted from the September 2005 issue of Country Home magazine. The equipment you will need is a rimmed baking sheet, stand mixer with whisk attachment, a candy thermometer, a wooden spoon, an offset spatula and cookie cutters. Prep time does not include setting up overnight time.

Steps:
- Spread the container of the decorating sugar evenly over the rimmed baking sheet; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the gelatin and 1/2 cup of the water.
- Let stand 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a heavy 2-quart saucepan combine the remaining 1/2 cup water, sugar, corn syrup and salt.
- Stir well, then add food coloring until desired color is reached (this also can be adjusted later).
- Cook, stirring constantly, over low to medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring often.
- Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan.
- Reduce heat to medium and boil at a moderate, steady rate, stirring frequently, until the thermometer registers 244 F, about 15 minutes.
- Watch carefully to prevent mixture from boiling over.
- If necessary, reduce heat to medium-low.
- With the stand mixer (with whisk attachment) on low to medium-low, slowly pur the hot sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture.
- Increase mixture to high and beat 15 minutes.
- Mixture should be thick, white and nearly tripled in volume.
- Add the vanilla extract and 1 T water, then beat until combined.
- If marshmallow is not the desired color, add additional food coloring and mix until just incorporated.
- Spray the wooden spoon with cooking spray, then spoon the mixture onto prepared pan.
- Spray the offset spatula with cooking spray, then use it to spread the marshmallow evenly over the pan in 1/3-1/2-inch thick layer.
- Sprinkle a second container of decorating sugar over the marshmallow and use your hands to spread it, coating the marshmallow evenly.
- Let stand, uncovered, overnight.
- Once the marshmallow has set, use cookie cutters to cut animals from it.
- Set them aside, making sure the edges don't touch.
- Once all the animals have been cut, discard the scraps of marshmallow, but save the excess sugar in the pan.
- Gather the excess sugar in a pile and gently roll the edges of the marshmallow animals in it to coat.
- They now can be decorated as desired using the decorating gel.
- This will make 16 large animals (yield varies by cookie cutter size).

Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water. Allow gelatin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water and sugar, and stir over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring, and place a candy thermometer into sugar water; wipe sides of pan with a wet brush if sugar crystals have splattered up. Boil sugar until temperature reaches the soft-ball stage (238 degrees). Remove syrup from heat; add to softened gelatin. Using the whisk attachment of an electric mixer, hand-stir the mixture a few minutes to cool; place bowl on the mixer stand. Beat on medium high with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form and the marshmallow mixture holds shape, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer marshmallow mixture to a large (14-inch) pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch (No. 11 Ateco) tip, and use immediately.

Steps:
- Fill a rimmed baking sheet or several shallow bowls with sugar. Pipe shapes onto sugar. If desired, color white crystal sugar by stirring in luster dust or sparkle dust a little at a time.
- For flat bunnies, use a 1/2-inch (#11 Ateco) tip; start with the tail, and pipe an outline directly onto the sugar. In a continuous motion, fill in the center of the shape. Using a damp finger, push down any spikes left from piping. Working quickly, use a spoon to cover shape with sugar, and allow it to set a few minutes; pipe on royal-icing eyes using a 1/32-inch (#1 Ateco) tip; place in a parchment-lined airtight container until ready to serve, or up to 2 weeks.
- For flat chicks, use a 1/2-inch (#11 Ateco) tip; start piping onto sugar at tail end, and, in a continuous motion, adding more pressure, form the body and head, pulling away from head to create the beak. Spoon sugar around and over the shape; allow to set a few minutes. Pipe on royal-icing eyes with a 1/32-inch (#1 Ateco) tip, and store as above.
- For large flowers, use a 1/2-inch (#11 Ateco) tip, and pipe onto sugar in a continuous motion, forming five petals 1 to 2 inches long, all connected in the center. Or form each petal individually, then connect them in the center. Using a damp finger, push down any spikes left from piping; spoon sugar around and over the shape. When flower is set, pipe a mound in the center of the petals, and carefully cover the freshly piped center with a different color of sugar. Gently shake off excess, and place in a parchment-lined airtight container until ready to serve, or up to 2 weeks.
- For the small flowers, use 3/16-inch (#4 Ateco) tip. Pipe directly onto sugar in a continuous motion, forming the outline of a flower, finishing in the center. Pat down spike with a damp finger, cover with sugar, and store as above.

- In a small bowl stir together the gelatin and 2 tablespoons of (ice cold) water. Set aside so the gelatin can absorb the water.
- In a small saucepan whisk together the corn syrup, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil and allow to cook until a candy thermometer registers 235F/113C.
- Once the sugar mixture reaches the right temperature, whisk in the gelatin (be careful with your hands because it’s likely to release hot steam when you do this) and stir to dissolve.
