I’d like to make these lovely marshmallows but without using the champagne – can i just disolve the gelatine in water instead using the same measurements as the champagne? Also, what can I flavour this with?

Loving your website!

Hi Maggie-Yes I bet they’d be quite amazing with other wines too

Hi heidi-Thankyou so much! That’s so sweet of you to say

Hi african vanielje-Oh very cool! Hehe that’s a lovely compliment!

Hi. Sophie-I am, well I was, I’m back now but I cued up some stories for when I was overseas Thanks so much!

Hi Barbara-Thankyou! They’re so different to packet ones, I had almost forgotten how different! Thanks L(

Hi Chris-I usually listen to the universe but I don’t know why I was so defiant Yes it is very Turkish delight with the sugar on the outside and cube shape!

Hi Anita-I didn’t realise how foolhardy I was until I got into the recipe Definitely give it a go, and that link showing the difference between the soft and hard ball stages proved invaluable.

Hi Angela-Thankyou and yes you;’re right! Greta for a bombonierre gift Yes I was really lucky there, a few more inches back and I would’ve been!

Hi Jescel-Thanks so much! Haha yes I suppose a lot of bargaining with higher powers etc might help. Thankyou, I suppose maybe this was the universe’s way of clearing some space for me?

Hi Arwen -Yes, it was a bit upsetting at first. Thankyou!

Hi shez-Definitely grown up marshmallows (although I wonder if it would work with lemonade too for kids?). Thanks, I was rather panicked about that!

Hi Su-yin-Thankyou! Hehe some might say it’s foolish for ignoring the signs, I know I would normally

Hi Fiona -yes I agree! Also helped on by the rose petals too!

Hi michelle-Interesting! Although I think they might be a bit too delicate for a Rocky Road perhaps. They’re so light, they feel like a strong breath might blow them away (ok a slight exaggeration but they’re very light )

Hi The Duo Dishes-haha so true! Aww I bet you guys would make them perfectly!

Hi Blond Duck-hehe why thankyou!

Hi Jessica-Thankyou so much! I agree, they’re so unlike the store bought ones!

Hi Scrumptious-Thanks very much! That’s very sweet of you to say, the light was fading and we were eagerly and quickly snapping away! Thankyou so much for letting me know, I haven’t done a SHF in so long!

Hi PT -Hehe why thankyou! Yes that’s how they look to me too Thankyou so much for your kind words!

Hi belle-I haven’t been there for sooo long, almost 15 years! I’d love to see both, I’m sure you’ll do a fabulous version of both!

Hi Brenda-Thankyou so much! xxx

Hi Cakelaw-Thanks very much Cakelaw! Yes I should have seen these for Valentines Day, except I am the girl so would that mean I’d me making them for myself?

Hi Simon-I haven’t tried them in a hot chocolate although they probably would be, but perhaps a bit more delicate? Interesting idea with a pizza cutter!

Hi Midge-I know Alas, i was not meant to be…What a fantastic idea! I love it

Hi. lisa (dandysugar)-Aww shucks, thankyou so much Lisa!

Hi anna-Wow, that’s great! I think I might have the hang of it now but I’m never sure

Hi Alexandra-I usually listen to signs and intuition Thanks so much

Hi Pigpigscorner-I think they would be great served as petit fours at the end of a dinner party. Well, that is, if I can be bothered making them again after making a 3 course meal!

Hi smileona-Thankyou so much! I have, it’s one of those things that I often dream of! Thanks so much for your kind words

Hi Sophie-Thankyou so much Sophie! What an honour and congratulations on yours! It’s very well deserved

Hi Theresa-Sure, sounds like a great idea to intensify the rose flavouring!

Hi FFichiban-Hehe they definitely were! Haha I don’t know if I can convince hubby that I need any more having confessed recently to a full blown china addiction lol

Hi Patricia-Thankyou so much! hehe I usually listen to myself and hopefully this isn’t the start of me ignoring my intuition

Hi snooky doodle-Thanks so much It’s definitely possible to make them without it (although I must say it’s easier with one) as long as you know the soft and hard ball stages

Hi Sandie-Thankyou! Hehe yes I guess they’re usually thought of as kids food!

Hi. Sara-Thankyou, such a pity but I suppose it’s good that nothing else was broken!

Hi Ericka-Thanks! It’s a bit time consuming and worrisome without the thermometer but very rewarding Thankyou!

Hi grace-Great idea! Haha no, really?! I bet those colleagues of yours owe you plenty!

Hi reddoorread-It’s like you’re not really eating anything at all! it scares the pants off me, although if anything I was rather lucky I wasn’t closer or facing it with the broken china bits!

Hi Lisa-Hehe thankyou! I really want to experiment with other flavours now!

Hi Carolyn-Thanks so much, yes it would although I think the amount of rose petals in it makes it quite rose-y so perhaps a few less petals would be better if using rosewater
