Marshmallow Fondant recipe

Everyone loves the way fondant looks on a cake, but do you really like the taste? When I eat these beautiful cakes made of fondant I usually peel the layer off and toss it to the side, but no more. I have a recipe for Marshmallow Fondant, a sweet tasting, beautiful looking topping to any cake.


Large batch of Marshmallow fondant
1- 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows
2 tbsps water
2 lbs powdered sugar (8 cups)


Place marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl and pack them in, then add the water. Put in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds. Just long enough for them to soften and puff up. Take out and stir with a spoon until it is combined well. Then add the sugar and mix until all is incorporated and it is no longer sticky. Then take it out of the bowl when it gets to the point where most of the sugar is incorporated and knead it in your hands. This takes roughly about 5-7 minutes. Take a regular rolling pin and roll out just as you would Wilton's fondant. You can get this fondant almost paper thin and it also repairs well. It's cheap, easy to work with, and tastes great too.
