How to make your own Fondant With Marshmallows

Today I want to share with you all how to make Fondant using ingredients from your panty {and the main ingredient being Marshmallows, so you know it will taste GOOD}.

Fondant is really easy to work with, but the real stuff is nasty...that is all that there is to it. It does not taste good.

Fondant Recipe:

{affiliate links below. Thanks for the support)

1 bag marshmallows
1 2 lb bag of powdered sugar
1 tsp coconut flavoring
1 tbsp water

Directions
melt the marshmallows, coconut flavoring, and water in the microwave. Then in a mixer (Bosch is my favorite) add the powdered sugar. Make sure to add it slowly. You want the fondant to be the texture of dough. A little on the sticky side.

I made some fondant in Arizona and I used about 1/2 of the bag, but in Idaho I use 3/4 of the bag.

This is the fondant all mixed up. After you have made the fondant put it in some press and seal or an airtight bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so that the sugars can all dissolve. Then you can start to work with it. If you have extra or need to wait awhile before using it, put it into the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Then when you are ready to use it put it in the microwave for a few seconds and you are ready to play again.

I like to use a fondant roller, fondant smoother, and detail tools for cutting and shape making

If you want to dye the fondant just knead the food coloring into it.

To make the butterfly shape I baked a cake in a 9x13 pan.  Then I cut a square off of it.  The end piece of the cake is what I used for the butterfly body.  The ears are pieces of fondant squared up.  

The possibilities are endless with fondant. I often make cupcakes and fondant when I am watching kids. It is just like play dough. Soft and pliable
