Marshmallow Fondant
Marshmallow fondant is easier to make than you might think with only two ingredients! A great way to make professional looking cakes at home even if you are a beginner!
Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 16 oz mini marshmallows
- 2-5 tbsp water
- 8 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave for 30 seconds, remove and stir. Continue microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring well and then repeating until the marshmallows are completely melted and it is smooth. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add about 1 cup of powdered sugar to the melted marshmallows and stir well. Continue adding powdered sugar about ½-1 cup at a time, and stirring well until you reach the point you can no longer stir.
- Cover your work surface and hands in a light dusting of powdered sugar. Turn the contents of the bowl onto the work surface and begin kneading as you work in more of the powdered sugar.
- If the mixture becomes too dry and is tearing, you can add 1/2 tablespoon of water at a time. Continue kneading for about 8-10 minutes until it is a smooth ball that stretches easily without tearing. (You may not need all 8 cups).
- Use immediately or roll into a ball, lightly coat with vegetable shortening and store in an airtight plastic bag until you are ready to use.
Notes
- This recipe makes enough to cover 2-8" cakes, or 1-8" cake with extra for making decorations.
