Marshmallow Fondant

 

This recipe is for cake decorators who are tired of spending lots of money on gross tasting fondant. This Fondant is very easy to work with and tastes good too. This is a very messy recipe though so make sure you have a clean work space with a sink and towels near by.
Ingredients: 
  • 16 oz mini marshmallows (store brand works best for me)
  • 2-5 Tbs water
  • 2 lbs C&H powdered sugar (SIFTED)
  • 1/2 cup Crisco shortening 
Directions:
  1. Place mms (marshmallows) and 2 Tbs (more if the weather is dry) water, in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between until the mms are all melted.
  2. If you want to color your fondant all one color this is the best and easiest time to do it, pour desired food coloring into melted mms and mix well. If you want multiple colors of fondant, do not mix any coloring, wait until your fondant is done and mix the coloring into the finished fondant. 
  3. Grease your counter top and hands generously with shortening.
  4. Pour a pile of the sugar onto the greased counter making a dip in the middle. Pour the melted mms into the middle and begin mixing by hand until a dough is made. (You will probably need to re grease your hands and counter a couple times during this step.)
To store it:
  1. Kneed your fondant into a ball and grease with shortening.
  2. Wrap in plastic wrap.
  3. Seal inside a ziploc bag and put it in your refrigerator for up to 4 months.
MIXER DIRECTIONS: 
This is for those with a stand mixer with a bread dough attachment.

  1. Follow steps 1 and 2 in the above directions.
  2. Grease your mixing bowl bread mixer attachments.
  3. Place the sugar into the mixing bowl
  4. Pour the mm mix on top of the sugar and begin mixing until a dough is formed.
  5. Remove dough and kneed until it is completely formed into a smooth dough.
