Can you make Marshmallow Spider Webs for the Cake?
If you want to make your cake even more spectacular, decorate it with a spider web made of marshmallows that will cover the dessert. Use your favorite marshmallows, any size will work. It's best to use store-bought ones than homemade marshmallows since they are made with large doses of stabilizers and gelatin.
To make your spider webs, place the marshmallows in a microwave-safe container and let them puff up for 20 to 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave and immediately start stirring the hot marshmallows until smooth. Let cool and thicken for a few minutes.
Now it is time to decorate! Dip a fork into the mixture, lifting it out until you get thick strands of marshmallow. At this point, spread these strands over the cake without worrying about being neat.
