The ladies and I decided to try our hand at baking a beautiful cake (we used the store bought mix). We really wanted to make something fun and colorful. I have been wanting to try out fondant for a while now, and decided we would try out this marshmallow fondant recipe I found.
16 ounces of marshmallows
4 tablespoons Water
2 pounds Powdered Sugar
Gel Food Coloring
Put Marshmallows and water in a microwave safe bowl, Microwave for about 2 mins, stirring every 30 seconds or so. When your marshmallow mix is no longer lumpy, mix in 3/4 of the powdered sugar, mixing, mixing, folding, mixing, until workable, then knead on a greased surface, adding sugar as needed until the texture is smooth and no longer sticky. Cover in plastic wrap and let cool for at least an hour. We kneaded in the food coloring after it cooled in small portions because we wanted multiple colors, but if you are wanting just one color add the the food coloring after you melt the marshmallows and before you add the sugar.
*we put vegetable oil on our hands to prevent it from sticking to us.
We sure had a ton of fun with the fondant but I don't think I will be going professional anytime soon. The Ladies and I think it turned out Great for a Baby Shower!
Happy Sunday!
