A sample of the treats she offers in her unique marshmallow sandwiches, which include such flavors as raspberry hibiscus, peppermint chocolate, chocolate, salted caramel and spiked espresso.
Little did Laura Curtis Ratana know when she created her first marshmallow in 2012 that she would soon be selling the handmade fluffy treats from a storefront in north Forsyth County. Curtis Ratana, A Culinary Institute of America graduate, was working as a chef in New Jersey when she made a raspberry-hibiscus marshmallow and sandwiched it between two dark chocolate shortbread cookies for a post-work snack. “I always loved marshmallows because I grew up as a Girl Scout and would go to Lake Michigan in the summers, and there would be S’mores and bonfires,” Curtis Ratana said.
