Hi, I’m Patrick Dale

I’m the owner and creator of Sweet Tooth Marshmallows. At the age of 10 I started my business in January 2022. My business started in November 2021, when I asked my Mum in our local Woolworths at Lake Cathie, NSW why are there no chocolate marshmallows and why shop-brought marshmallows lack flavour?

Sweet Tooth Marshmallows started in November 2021 where, with the help of my Mum, and after two months of testing, we created a unique recipe, for Sweet Tooth Marshmallows, – they are as soft as a cloud and full of flavour.

My very first market was held in Laurieton on the Mid North Coast of NSW (Australia), on 13th of January 2022, see my young self below aged 10 years.
At this market I launched 4 flavours of Marshmallows: Chocolate, Strawberry, Chocolate Dipped and Choc-Orange. Since this time, I have grown to over 25 flavours of marshmallows and a range of products including but not limited to:

  • Gourmet Flavoured Marshmallows
  • Alcohol infused Marshmallows for the adults
  • Marshmallow Pops
  • Rocky Road
  • Hot Chocolate Bombs
  • Marshmallow Domes
  • Bites of Heaven (my take on a Wagon Wheel)

I love to create and test in the kitchen with my Mum, sometimes our vision works and sometimes we have to go back to the drawing board. Our recipe is unique as it allows the flavouring to be a powder, liquid or paste, we have learnt through trial and error that if you are a couple of grams out or not timing the speed of the mix master or not monitoring the surrounding air temperate it results in failure.

To make marshmallows requires patience, chemistry, understanding of flavour and passion, I have all of these and have been running my business successful since 2022. As my business has grown it has involved more of my Mum and Dad time and it has evolved into a family business, lead by the youngest member of the family, me.

Launching the website in October 2024, takes my business to the next level, it means we move to a family business with myself still the CEO and Creator of Sweet Tooth Marshmallows, Mum continues to help in the kitchen with production, Dad is there to help with packaging and providing samples to customers at markets and I’m there doing what I love making marshmallows to share with you, your friends and family and helping to create happy memories.

Please support my business and my business dream. I could not be where I’m without my customers, mentors and in particular my family. This next stage of my business will bring in my sister to help me with marketing and production as she has a worked for a number of years in commercial kitchens.

Please like me on Facebook or Instagram and follow my story and business. Together we can enjoy full of flavour, soft as a cloud marshmallow and understand why over 2,000 years ago royal and gods enjoyed marshmallows, my goal is to education consumers on the joy of full of flavour marshmallows can create in your personal lives. Why eat marshmallows that have no flavour or texture, once you have tried my marshmallows you can not go back to shop style marshmallows.

Personally, my favourite marshmallows have evolved as I have made more flavours, my top three flavours are:

  • Caramel
  • Chocolate
  • Choc-Caramel

Thank you for your continued support

Why Marshmallows

Flavour, texture and enjoyment. This is what a marshmallow brings. My family has always brought out marshmallows when there is a fire, and we are together. We have enjoyed camping with many a campfire stories around the fire, toasting marshmallows.

Marshmallows bring people together and it is for this reason I sought and could not find chocolate marshmallows. This need being unfulfilled led my Mum and I to create our own special marshmallow recipe when I could not buy flavoured marshmallows and in particular chocolate marshmallows in supermarkets and shops.

Why as consumers do, we accept the marshmallows available in supermarkets that lack flavour and texture. We need to enjoy flavour, and my Sweet Tooth Marshmallows allow our tastebuds to have flavour and be as soft as a cloud.

I love to talk about my business journey creating our full of natural flavour, soft as a cloud marshmallows. Our focus is on creating a delicious product that we can enjoy and create memories.

My marshmallows are award winning. Having won Gold, Silvers and Bronze medals for 5 flavours of marshmallows.

When you try my delicious soft as a cloud marshmallows, your tastebuds will thank you for the experience and will help you create many memories with family and friends.

Life is short, we should enjoy gourmet, full of flavour and soft as a cloud marshmallows, try our range of Sweet Tooth Marshmallows, they will change your opinion of marshmallows and your taste buds will love you for it.

Inspirational Speaking

Being a Tween and now Teen Entrepreneur I have learnt a lot since I commenced my business in January 2022 at the age of 10 years. Seeing business from the perspective of a Tween/Teen Entrepreneur brings a different point of view, particularly one of ease through a young person’s eyes.

I have found that as a young entrepreneur there are many adults talking about helping and creating viable businesses for youth entrepreneurs, but very few young people, leading the conversation. I seek to change this by leading the conversation, educating young people that by believing in your vision and dream and a little hard work can be a young entrepreneur. I’m in the youth council with Young Change Agents and seek to help teachers and educators to upskill youth with entrepreneurial skills. I have a lived experience of being a young entrepreneur and I seek to share that experience with young people and adults.

I’m available to talk at Business Chambers, Youth Forum and other events that allow me to share the business journey to date. It has not always been smooth but I’m fortunate that my parents are fully supporting me and as my business has grown are willing to work in my business with me.

I’m continuing to develop as a person and grow as a business owner. If you would like to hear my story and allow me to help your audience grow and see business opportunities through the eyes of a young person, then please reach out to me to discuss how we can work together.

Hastings Micro Business Forum was delighted to have Patrick join us as our keynote speaker, where he shared his inspiring journey as a young Aussie entrepreneur. His fresh perspective on business, as seen through the lens of a next-generation leader, brought our audience insights that were both valuable and highly relatable.

Patrick’s presentation was a perfect mix of engaging personal stories and practical, down-to-earth business advice, leaving our members feeling energised and motivated. His approachable style and attentive interaction with the audience created an atmosphere that was dynamic and impactful.

From the initial planning stages to the closing applause, Patrick’s professionalism and flexibility stood out. His commitment to understanding our forum’s unique needs and tailoring his presentation to suit was truly impressive.

We couldn’t recommend Patrick more highly as a speaker for any business-focused event here in Australia. His blend of youthful insight and solid business acumen offers a fresh, relevant take on entrepreneurship today. We’re excited to follow Patrick’s journey and to cheer him on as he continues to make his mark in the business world!
