"At Chicago Marshmallow I found a very kid-friendly maker known for marshmallows shaped like hearts, stars, and Disney characters; I also observed that they sell weekly at a Wednesday afternoon market in Edgewater’s Edge of Sweetness (the maker rents kitchen space from that bakery). Owner Laura Murphy emphasizes experimentation — she tells people that making a flavor of marshmallow is like a science experiment — and is expanding into more complex commissioned shapes for birthdays and weddings, including Ghostbusters’ Slimer and miniature-tiered wedding cake marshmallows, alongside seasonal turkeys and pumpkins." - Pearse Anderson
