Marshmallow Fondant


I've had a few requests for this since posting about Ashs birthday cake. This fondant is delicious and you'll actually be able to eat it without gagging unlike the fondant most bakeries use. You should be able to eat all of the cake, shouldn't you?

Marshmallow Fondant:

16 oz bag of marshmallows
2 lb bag of powdered sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp flavoring (vanilla, etc)

Empty bag of marshmallows into glass bowl & add tsp or 2 of water. Microwave the mic until consistency is smooth. Do this in 20-30 second increments, stirring in between. Remove bowl from microwave and stir in 1/2 the bag of powdered sugar. Pour the remaining powdered sugar on a very clean counter. Pour the marshmallow mix on your powdered sugar pile. Add flavor to your marshmallow mix. Knead the remaining sugar into the dough, keeping your hands covered in powdered sugar. Use little bits of water to keep adding sugar. Fondant is ready when you have smooth elastic ball. If it breaks when stretched, add more water.

  1. Thank you!!! Davy's cake is getting crazier by the minute. He now wants monsters, Spiderman and Cars. I'm going to have to be creative for this masterpiece :)
