Lemonilla Gluten Free Cake

Woke up this morning, and suddenly really fancied a proper, BIG gluten free cake! So, I used a tried a tested cupcake recipe

**NEW** Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Absolutely delicious! These can be made Vegan too!

**NEW** Orange Swirl Cookies!

I was trawling the net, looking for yummy Gluten Free Cookies which WEREN'T chocolate chip and came up with a gluten free alternative of the 'pin wheel'.
Instead of using two 'sheets' of pastry, I used one sheet of sweet pastry, and then lathered it in Orange Marmalade! To finish (and just before I popped them into the oven), I glazed the tops with sugar to add a 'crunch'.

They taste lovely! Next time- strawberry or blackcurrant jam! want more colour!

Gluten Free Custard Creams- Attempt #1!

Had a blast creating these, had to edit a 'normal' custard cream recipe so it was suitable for Coeliac's- NEARLY perfect, but the biscuits need to be thinner and cooked for longer! They taste beautiful but just don't hit the nail on the head just yet!
Still- what's being a baker if you don't get to screw up occasionally and practice again?!

We're listed at MadeOnMyDoorstep.co.uk!

Moonraker's Sweet & Mallow is now also listed here!:

Made On My Doorstep

Updated Name!

As you've probably seen by now, we've edited our name slightly. We were 'Moonraker's Marshmallows' but we've changed this now to 'Moonraker's Sweet & Mallow'.

We were getting so, so many emails asking us if we did any other sweets (turkish delight, chocolate etc) and then when we said 'yes', the confusion as to why we did when our name only stated 'marshmallows', was immense!

So, after A LOT of brainstorming (or mind mapping or... whatever it's supposed to be called now!), and by a lot, I mean 2 complete A4 pages worth, ideas, we finally came up with 'Sweet & Mallow'! This covers all our sweet treats which aren't marshmallows AND our marshmallows!

We really hope you like it- we do!

VegFest and Evil Heat!

Wow, the last two days have been INSANE!
We made enough batches of marshmallows to fill 150 bags of marshmallows for VegFest in Bristol... Everything was going well, and then the sun and heat came out...
Since MM hasn't been through a summer yet, we didnt know how our yummies were going to fare! Our marshmallows must now ALWAYS been stored in the fridge during the summer!!
This has been a valuable lesson learnt... the hard way, but learnt!
Now, I'm going to go and have a very long sleep! 3, 19 hour days back to back in the heat, have shattered me!
Have a good weekend!

MANIC!

Walked to the shop this morning and bought ALL the sugar they had in stock... this then resulted in me carrying home 7kg of sugar! Arms of steel... ahem, jelly now!
I've since made 3kg of Candy Floss Vegan Marshmallows and 3kg of Vanilla Vegan Marshmallows... then tomorrow, 3kg of Strawberry Vegan Marshmallows and 3kg of Raspberry Vegan Marshmallows!
Got our big fair on Sunday... then next week, another whole sale order to do for a new company!

I'm going to go and chill now.. sleep!

Sunday 20th!

Been trying to be very good and not think ahead while we still have orders and whole sale stock to make... BUT! We've come up with a couple of delicious new flavours for you all at the Enjoy Festival in Bath next Sunday!
Marshmallow HQ smells DIVINE! Photo's to follow... but don't want to spoil the surprise for all those the event! Our new flavours are to die for!

Crazy Week!

Wow!
This has been our busiest week so far in Marshmallow HQ! We've had 3 Whole Sale Orders and another next week, tonnes of orders including new orders from France and the Isle of Wight AND we've got a major event at Bath's Enjoy Festival next Sunday!
Absolutely loving it!! Made a lot of decisions regarding MM this week, so stay tuned!

So Sorry I've not blogged in forever! It's been a crazy time here at MM HQ!
We've perfected our recipes and now provide and handmade marshmallows AND vegetarian & vegan marshmallows!

We've also had our logo 'vamped up' so it's awesome and we've had a vegan and veggie badge made to go on all our V&V products!

AND we have new packaging!

Busy, busy here!
Will be back soon with more news!

Hello... and apologies!

Hi to you all!
Sincere apologies, I haven't blogged since my last post and I should've done but you lot have been ordering SO much, I've not had time!
Our site is now up and running again after changing providers.
We've split into two seperate avenues now- Moonraker's Confectionery and Moonraker's Marshmallows. Our Confectionery covers: Chocolate, Fudge (currently off our menu), Turkish Delight and non-vegetarian Marshmallows. Our Marshmallows cover our vegetarian range which is entirely suitable for veggies as it carries no gelatin at all.
We've done this to try and clear up what we do and don't do and so far it seems to be working!
Hopefully you'll find your way around our sites ok, if not, don't be afraid to shout! Also, we're on facebook with our confectionery AND with our marshmallows and we're also on twitter if you'd like to follow us for up to date information!

Hello from the Website!

If you've typed in our website address and have come across our blog instead, you ARE in the right place! Please bear with us while we get everything up and running again- it won't take too long, we hope!

Sites finally live again!

Wow! What a crazy week this has been!
Had the site down and transferring between hosts... Finally got it back online tonight with a new look so that's a stress gone!
And Moonraker's Chocs and Marshies are now being stocked in 2 shops! It's all happened crazily fast but it's SO awesome! Our first lot go in on Monday- and if you're in Wiltshire, take a look on our site for directions because these 2 shops will have ranges not available online!
Amazing week! Thank you :-) <3

We now make Marshmallows!

Had a play yesterday and made MC's first Marshmallows! Had a few people taste them already this morning and they've been described as 'divine' and 'mouthwatering' so they're a definite keeper on our menu! So chuffed!
Trying a few new flavors today!
