I have had some of the worst and best luck with marshmallows– beating egg whites with hot syrup. The first time I attempted to do so, I was a pastry chef who managed to break the whip attachment for a 30 qt. mixer, and I was covered in head to toe with a goopy, not quite marshmallow-y mixture. The second and third times weren’t much better, but eventually I got the hang of it. Timing is a bitch in these sorts of recipes, but kudos to you for giving it a go!

I wonder what the humidity was like when you had your frosting fail. Meringues, seafoam candies and all other egg-whitey things have a tendency to flop when there’s a lot of moisture in the air. Vanilla bean meyer lemon marshmallows sound divine though!

Ooh, I’ll do that before I need to use it again for sure. But I think I was being a bit of a doofus. I made vanilla bean meyer lemon marshmallows today for Brooklyn Swappers [and partially out of my stubborn nature to show “Dammit, I CAN do this!” and it worked a-okay. Mmm, those marshmallows were fantastic.

so sad your frosting didn’t turn out!!
one thing I’m wondering – have you tested your thermometer for accuracy lately? it’s easy: just boil water and see if it shows 212. maybe it’s hosed.
