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.
