I'm glad to learn of this recipe for the next time. I'm curious though - you mention your aversion to corn syrup - isn't corn syrup the number one ingredient in store-bought marshmallows? (I know it is for Campfire brand, but maybe others are different?)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-91927160375551537412007-08-28T12:15:00.000+10:002007-08-28T12:15:00.000+10:00hi katie, it's so not worth buying the store-bough...hi katie, it's so not worth buying the store-bought stuff once you try this. much easier!<BR/><BR/>mila, the leaves were not edible, unfortunately. still, the cake in the pot was excellent, and the milk chocolate base was out of this world. the mandrake root and leaves are preserved in a jar at work :)santos.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-2411690138617327892007-08-28T11:50:00.000+10:002007-08-28T11:50:00.000+10:00I love the mandrake cake!

Will give home made fondant a try next time I need some. Have always shop bought it in the past and have never used it all before it went hard and had to be thrown away.
