I often get emails inquiring about homemade marshmallows and custom logo orders. As most of you already know, we do not make our own marshmallow because we use store-bought marshmallows to make all of our designs nor have we been taking orders since last year due to the book and our contract work with KRAFT Jet-Puffed that have kept us busy. After I reply to them letting them know of this, the next question is usually:

“Do you know of anyone I can order them from?”

There are a few companies out there that I always refer business to and there are others that are just recently popping up (or at least I’m just finding out about them) that love marshmallows as much as I do. I’m going to list a few below so if you get ever need to order some you know where to go

Click on the links below to check out the array of flavors and yummy products these companies offer.

Unfortunately at this moment I do not have any companies to recommend for marshmallow designs. I am hoping once our book is released in August a market is built and I can post a similar list to the one above but for marshmallow artists

REMEMBER you can pre-order your mARTshmallows book NOW for a discounted price of $24.99 and receive several special gifts.

Disclaimer: This list has been compiled based on my own knowledge and research. I have not been paid to endorse any of the above companies nor have I ever personally ordered any products from them.

Wah-lah! A whole desserts table decorated with marshmallows perfect for an Easter or Springtime get-together. This is my latest project for KRAFT Jet-Puffed marshmallows. It’s always fun to go above and beyond and make a whole table rather than just one piece. I had a blast playing stylist and eating those yummy cupcakes afterwards

Who’s been looking forward to corned beef and cabbage, soda bread, colcannon and lots of green and rainbow desserts all year long? I know I have!

As you may have already noticed, every holiday I make a “marshmallow project” for my friends at KRAFT Jet-Puffed marshmallows and here is my latest piece – a St. Patrick’s Day Marshmallow Cake!!

I’m excited to show off our 2011 Thanksgiving Collection. My main focus this year was food!

Although Dia De Los Muertos is mostly known as a Mexican holiday it is also celebrated throughout the world. Traditionaly on this day, friends and family members gather to pray and remember loved ones who have died. The celebration takes place on November 2. Most people build private little altars honoring the deceased and decorate them with sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed. Some also visiting their graves and leave these items as gifts.

Who would have thought that powder blue looked soo good with orange and black for a Halloween party?

Jessica from Party Box Design knew!

She is a fabulous mega talented graphic designer and party stylist. Her parties are off the charts so when she asked me to design a special piece to go with her Wicked Annual Halloween Party printables…. I didn’t even have to think about it. (more…)

Must admit, these were one of the hardest marshmallows I ever had to make.

Why?? Because I have arachnophobia :-/ (more…)

Halloween is around the corner and look what I’ve found….

I bought these at Walmart and then saw them at Target. Remember that these are only seasonal and if you wish to have these shapes, colors, flavors or sizes you must get them now. Enjoy and don’t forget to share with us the fun things you do with YOUR ‘mallows

After seeing our Mad Hatter Marshmallow Pops at the HWTM.com Launch Party, Sweets Indeed thought we’d be a perfect addition to their Alice in Wonderland styled sweets and treats station they were working on for an adorable 4 year old’s birthday party.

Every detail is just perfectly executed. I mean seriously, how amazing is the table tutu to resemble Alice’s dress? Cute, right! Another one of my favorite parts is custom teacup cake stands they made and decorated. Super creative.

We made blue and green mad hatter hats to compliment the event colors. Our marshmallow hearts were also included

The cake, cookies, and cupcakes look deliciously sweet and adorable. Vanilla Bake Shop did an awesome job on those yummy little “paint red roses” french macaroons.

It was such a delight working with Marie and her team. Her creativity and professionalism impressed me. When I saw the photos, I too wish I had fallen down the rabbit hole!

This is a question that people often ask me. I’m guessing they assume that because we are the ONLY business in the United States that does marshmallow designing that I should want to keep it that way.

My answer: My goal is to popularize this beautiful art. I truly enjoy interacting with students, sharing my knowledge and seeing their creativity flourish.

I know that by teaching marshmallow designing competition is inevitable and I’m okay with it. I believe competition is healthy; it gives us a bit of a challenge and gives the consumer options. Plus, some people simply like doing crafty things for their friends and family. This is something easy, inexpensive and new they can do.

I encourage my fans and students to post photos of their marshmallow creations on our Facebook page or email them in to be featured on our blog. I also try to mentor them in any way I can. It would be wonderful to someday have tons of people coming up with super imaginative marshmallow designs (Something like how Bakerella has everyone giving cake pops a try).

Here are a few of the photos our Facebook fans have shared with us. Note: Neither of the above mentioned have taken a class from The Marshmallow Studio. They were just crafty ladies that made these on their own and wanted to share with us. Let me tell you, sometimes I even learn a thing or two from my students

Although I am flattered that someone would want to re-create our designs, I constantly find myself telling my students to always be original and inventive. I’d be more than happy to promote an up-and-coming designer/business as long as they are genuine and produce quality work.

Available as pops too

{Perhaps this should have been one of the first things to do when I founded The Marshmallow Studio but seems I forgot about myself LOL}

It is my pleasure to introduce myself as the woman behind The Marshmallow Studio. My name is Alejandra Morin. First and foremost, I am a wife, a mommy, and a fun loving person. I love ice cream, cocktails, all yummy desserts and crafts. My hobbies include painting, cooking, baking, and scrapbooking. I enjoy listening to music, watching comedy movies, reading magazines and relaxing by the beach. I’m a bit of a workaholic who likes things to be perfect and organized. I put my all into everything I do and believe hard work does pay off in the end.

My little family:

My husband Kyle (AKA my graphic designer, my IT tech, my business advisor, and my partner in crime), my sons Aiden (DOB Aug. 2009) and Keiran (DOB Feb. 2011). They are the best!!! They are my motivation to keep going day after day.

Want to know more? Here is the official Bio that you can see on the website:

“With a background in event planning and a creative ability, Alejandra Morin successfully opened The Marshmallow Studio in April 2010. She graduated from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island with an Associate’s Degree in Travel & Tourism Management. To quench her thirst for knowledge and work experience she moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where she graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas with a Bachelor’s Degree in Hotel Administration, majoring in Meetings & Events Management. While in Las Vegas she became a top player in the nightclub industry and later for a destination management company. Yearning to be closer to the beach, her and her husband moved to San Diego where they currently reside along with their two sons.

In order to have a flexible schedule and raise their children, Alejandra learned the art of marshmallow designing from her mother and made into a business. Her goal is to popularize this art through her classes and designs so everyone can enjoy these deliciously adorable and unique new marshmallows. She wishes to soon publish a book to teach people all around the world how they too can make these fun and yummy marshmallow creations. “I want everyone to fall-in-love with marshmallows that way I have” says Alejandra.”
