Kids love marshmallows, so when I saw this awesome idea for Adipose [1] marshmallow pops on Pinterest, I knew I had to make them for our Doctor Who party [2]. I followed the pinterest link to Catch My Party, which linked me to Hearts & Craftsy's Facebook page [3], so that's where credit for this awesome idea goes! But not to a tutorial or instructions that I could find, so I had to improvise. But hey, that's what I like best!
Aww, aren't they so squishy and cute?
Adipose Marshmallows:
- mini marshmallows
- regular marshmallows
- food coloring marker [4]
- royal icing
Whip up a batch of royal icing in your mixer. There are instructions that come with the package of meringue powder [5]. Use the royal icing to glue mini marshmallow legs and arms to the regular sized marshmallow bodies.
You could also purchase clear piping gel [6] if you didn't want to make royal icing. It's clear and sticky and would work well for this purpose.
After they've had a chance to dry, use a food coloring marker [4] to draw on simple little smiling faces.
Have your marshmallow adipose treats mill around on a plate, or have some of them ascend to the mothership using bamboo skewers at various heights. Either way, they're and easy, delicious, and adorable addition to your Doctor Who party!
