Apparently Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas has a huge fan base.
We were asked to design pops inspired by Jack and Sally about five months ago and as soon as we announced the class date it was full in just a couple of hours. 18 lucky fans were patiently waiting for this class and the pressure was on us to create the perfect pops to resemble their favorite characters.

A couple of weeks ago I went to Standlee’s Cake Candy and Cookie Supplies in downtown Chula Vista, California for a couple of things I needed for my son’s birthday party. So I walk in and wow, to my surprise, it was a whole new store. They had leased the space next door, knocked down the wall and walla; Standlee’s is bigger, better, and brighter than ever!!
I am always looking for new locations to teach marshmallow design at and Standlee’s just seemed to be the perfect next spot. They now have an awesome class space that fits anywhere between 12-15 students.
When owner, Cheryl, called me and invited me to come by and be part of the festivities for their 7th Anniversary, I was excited.
They had cupcakes, chocolate-dipped pretzels and beautiful little chocolates 🙂
This past Satuday, August 27 we taught a class at Do It With Icing in San Diego, CA and, let me tell you, it was awesome! We were laughing, decorating, and chatting the whole time. [Read more…]
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.

Seriously, can someone please pinch me?
Did Chef Paul really just ask me to teach at his re-known store in Las Vegas, Nevada?
He sure did and I immediately said “Of course!!!”.
I’ve been dieing to go to Chef Rubber in Las Vegas for almost a year now and since I was coming out for Cake Camp already I thought it’d be a perfect opportunity to finally visit. This store is absolutely amazing. Beware: you will want to spend every dollar you have here. They have everything you didn’t even know existed. I was lucky enough to have my husband hide my wallet from me before walking in, LOL.
Chef Rubber offers specialty items for artisan chefs, cake decorators, confectioners, and mixologists. They also have a super cool and modern classroom space. You have to come to this place. Let them know Alejandra from The Marshmallow Studio sent you.
We’re builing up an insterest list so we can schedule classes accordingly. Please shoot us an email at info@themarshmallowstudio.com and ask to be added to LV Class list. As soon as we have a group together we’ll be scheduling our 1st class there! So go on, pass the word 🙂
It was amazing!
Our class on Saturday, January 15th at Do It With Icing in San Diego, CA was super fun. We had cake designers, housewives, mom&daughter, and a chocolate company owner come out and learn how to make their own pops. The theme of the class was Valentine’s Day so we made a loving teddy bear, an adorable lady bug and a sexy corset. We all had a blast and got really creative. Our next class at this location will be on Saturday, April 2nd so call asap to sign up since space is limited and the demand is high 🙂
Our classes on Saturday, January 22nd at Cooper’s in Fontana, CA was as full as full could get. We got started and were still getting calls and walk-ins to register last minute but we simply didn’t have the space. The demand was soo high that we already scheduled the next class: Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 27th. Please call now to reserve your spots since I know they will be full again. We had sisters, mom&daughter, cake and candy designers, crafty teens and even the owner sit through our class and get sticky 🙂 We made two pops: a cute lady in dress and a Valentine teddy bear, they came out super cute. I love seeing how each student personalizes their designs.
Cooper’s is also carring our marshmallow bags… so if you’re in the Inland Empire make sure you stop by and pick up all your supplies from them. For special orders or if they are out please contact me.
This week I traveled all around Southern California to meet with a few Cake and Candy Supply Stores to work out classes and marshmallow supply orders. Can’t disclose too much yet but I am excited to tell you that we’ll be covering the San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego Counties. Classes and Supplies will be near you!!!
If you’d like for us to also be near you, please forward our information to your local store and ask them to contact us ASAP 🙂
