I am trying to make this care bear cake for my daughter's birthday. How do you figure they got the marshmellows to stick on the side of the cake. I am assuming these are marshmellows.
Here is the picture!

I would use Royal Icing to stick the marshmallows to the cake. After you have iced the cake with whatever frosting you want, mix up a small batch of the Royal Icing to "glue" any decorations into place.
Royal Icing
1 egg whites, room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Combine ingredients, beat at high speed for 7-10 minutes.
Although Royal Icing is edible, it is used primarily to "glue" things together and is hard. I use it mostly when making gingerbread houses.

its not marshmellow. its a cream shaped into it. that's why it stick easly. but maybe u could try it with a sugar shape, u should find it in a bakery's store. normally they are selling many kinds of shape. and inorder to stick it, u can used a bit of cream cake as a glue. good luck.

I'm guessing they stuck them together with just a *dot* of icing and let them harden. What I'm wondering is, how did they get them to be rounded and smushed looking? Marshmallows are cylindrical in shape. You can smush them between your fingers, but then they're just smushed. These are actually rounded and fluffy looking. Maybe they're not marshmallows--maybe they're made of some type of powdered sugar frosting that is piped out and allowed to harden?

nice cake Happy Birthday
okay you can use icing or even frosting. you can probably warm up the marsh mellows a little and then they would expand a Little and then stick them on to the cake. cause once it's warm marsh mellows tend to get sticky.

am not sure if they are marshmellows.... but you can use blueish marshmellows and stick them with some royal icing will do. or maybe even a small ball from the remaining icing will do... or you can use jam.
