Mel Brooks said it's good to be the king. Well it's pretty sweet being the future queen's brother, too.

James Middleton, the brother of Britain's Kate Middleton, is knee deep in sweet.

Along with partners, he's launched a company, called Boomf, which produces customized marshmallows, featuring photos, logos and much more.
