If I were to try to engrave 'shmellos, I would probably try it with these wide flat ones:
Looks like that’s what they used in the video on Facebook
Well that’s silly…arent they the same? Maybe different sizes?? Lol
You may have to take one for the team, and do some taste-testing. Someone has to do it.
Well, I’ll be…just shows my age…I had no idea that marshmallows came in squares/ ones specially made for S’mores. Sheesh!
What?! I have never seen square flat marshmallows. Cool!
Happy cake day!
Tested some out today with the S’moremallows and has some fun results. The most difficult part ended up being that each mallow is a slightly different height between .5-1 inch, but since the burn needs to be so precise it made things tricky. Overall, it is pretty simple to engrave more bold letters or logos but smaller font (like the picture atrached) gets a little harder to read.
The most success I had today was with 300 speed/24 power/450 dpi
I bet it can get even better with different settings, but it could just take a while depending on the intricacy of the design.
Cool–so glad it works!
Now to shop for flat marshmallows!
The Mart of Walls has them
No wonder I’ve not seen them before–I avoid that Mart! Will check others… or the giant A (esp. if is a regional thing & not in B&M stores in my area). Tar+get has them in stock & can order on line.
most if the grocery chains here in CT have them too. In the candy aisle. Or end cap displays for 'smores kits.
But you guys have lobster rolls–not something found in this corner of the states! (WA). Have only seen the “normal” cylinder shapes with Smore’s displays–apart from pricy hand made ones (usually too fat for GF) or easter shapes. Or Peeps. Aisles of Peeps.
Since I do make my own marshmallows I suppose I’ll have to experiment with FluffGrade™ settings…
I’m hosting a small gathering of friends for a Glowforge Workshop as a fundraiser for an event I do every summer. I decided to make them all a custom “I can’t recommend you eat this” cookie. :)!
These are gingersnaps from Whole Foods, obviously they aren’t uniform in texture, but I used :
.35" Height
Manual Engrave
400/25/450lpi
Well, what did they taste like?
tfw you find perfect marshmallow settings
Definitely have to adjust the height of the bed. I remove the bed and stack extra materials about an inch high. The marshmallows are ~0.75 inches on top of that.
Set the material height to .25", the engraving depth to .125" , speed to 200 and power to twenty. Tastes great and makes the room smell heavenly.
they were good. they did taste kinda like burnt cookies just near the engraving, but everyone ate them!
We just tried this, and used the settings Power 300, Speed 72. This scored letters crisply, without melting too much into the mallow.
