Procedure:
Lightly oil a 9” x 13” pan and sprinkle it with a coating of powdered sugar. Pour the 1/4 cup of cold water into the mixer bowl; sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the water. Stir if necessary, to make sure the all of gelatin is wet. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
Combine the boiling water and fruit-flavored gelatin and stir until mixture is dissolved. Add the 2 cups of sugar and continue to stir until it dissolves. Turn mixer to a high speed, frequently stop the machine to check the thickness of the mixture. When it is the proper thickness, scrape and pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Set aside to completely cool. Give it at least 2 hours to cool.
After cooling, run a table knife around the edges to loosen the sides. Sift some powdered sugar over the top and some onto a sheet of wax paper. Take the pan and flip it so it is over the sheet of wax paper, while one side of the pan is lifted, tap it on the bottom to release the marshmallow.
Dust the new top with a little more powdered sugar. Combine the cup of powdered sugar and the 1/2 cup of cornstarch into a small bowl. Oil a knife or a pizza cutter and slice the marshmallow into 10 strips crosswise and cut each strip into 8 pieces. Place them in the powdered-sugar mixture to coat all sides, and then shake off the excess in a sieve.
Store in a covered container.
