Marshmallow Menagerie

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen was the topic of discussion for our book club meeting tonight. (Hi, Beth! Hi, Janice! Hi, Alisha!) Our host requested we bring "circus food".

Do you know long it's been since I've been to a circus?

I was struggling to find something as yet unclaimed when inspiration struck in the form of this Kitchen Retro blog about making marshmallow favors, unearthed from a 1965 McCall's Family Style Cookbook. My sister and I assembled the circus animals before I headed over.


Okay, so it's not exactly "circus food"... It's even better!

Animals packaged for transport...

Those look fantastic! I am thrilled that you made some of them and they turned out beautifully.

Very cool indeed.

And thank you for reading/linking to Kitchen Retro, please do come and visit any old time. We're doing a 1950s jingle contest thing today (though I will be posting more, I usually post a couple of times a day)
