Is it possible to make fondant

The taste of marshmallow fondant as compared to a more standard fondant is much nicer. I love this recipe. Gather the ingredients. Dust your counter or a large cutting board with powdered sugar. Place the marshmallows and the water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, until the marshmallows are puffy and expanded.

Stir the marshmallows with a rubber spatula until they are melted and smooth. If some unmelted marshmallow pieces remain, return to the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, until the marshmallow mixture is entirely smooth and free of lumps.

If you want colored or flavored fondant, add several drops of food coloring or extracts at this point and stir until incorporated.

When you want to create multiple colors or flavors from one batch of fondant, do not add the colors or flavors now. Instead, refer below for instructions.

Add the powdered sugar and begin to stir with the spatula. Stir until the sugar begins to incorporate and it becomes impossible to stir anymore. Scrape the marshmallow-sugar mixture out onto the prepared work surface. Dust your hands with powdered sugar and begin to knead the fondant mixture like bread dough , working the sugar into the marshmallow with your hands. Continue to knead the fondant until it smooths out and loses its stickiness.

Once the fondant is a smooth ball, it is ready to be used. You can now roll it out, shape it, or wrap it in cling wrap to use later. If you want to add coloring or flavoring to your fondant, flatten it into a round disc. You might want to wear gloves to avoid getting food coloring on your hands during this step. Add your desired amount of coloring or flavoring to the center of the disc.

Fold the disc over on itself so that the color or flavor is enclosed in the center of the fondant ball. Begin to knead the ball of fondant just like you did before. As you work it, you will begin to see streaks of color coming through from the center. Continue to knead until the streaks are gone and the fondant is a uniform color. Your fondant is now ready to be used or stored. For a 10 x inch square cake or a 9 x inch sheet cake, you will need to double the recipe.

It can also be wrapped completely in plastic wrap. It is not necessary to refrigerate fondant. There are so many fun things to make with fondant in addition to wedding cakes. This Hamburger Cake is a fun cake to make for the hamburger lovers out there. The cheese, lettuce, and onions are all made out of fondant. I recently made this with my sons for a Cub Scout cake decorating contest.

The scouts loved it! We made the tea cups by baking the cake batter in glass mixing bowls. We flipped them right side up and made the handles, rings around the top, and the polka dots.

Then we frosted the top of the cake. They turned out so cute! The candle you see on it is one of the coolest birthday candles I have ever seen. When you light the top wick, it spins open, lights all the birthday candles and continues to spin and play a song.

Prep Time: 10 minutes. Cook Time: 2 minutes. Total: 12 minutes. Serves: Ingredients 16 ounces mini marshmallows 32 ounces powdered sugar 4 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon shortening. Instructions Put marshmallows, water, and shortening in a glass microwavable bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir. Repeat 4 times. Whisk times to combine. Let the gelatin "bloom" for 5 minutes. Heat the gelatin in the microwave for 15 seconds to melt.

Whisk the corn syrup and glycerine into the warm gelatin see note if you want to tint the fondant. Heat another 15 seconds in the microwave to make sure everything is melted. Pour the warm gelatin mixture into the sugar all at once. If working by hand use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until most of the sugar is incorporated. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook on medium-low until most of the sugar is incorporated.

With the fondant still in the bowl, use your hands to finish kneading the rest of the sugar into the fondant. It will be quite sticky and messy at this point, just keep kneading. A plastic bowl scraper is helpful for handling the fondant. Turn the fondant out onto the plastic wrap. Wrap 2x in plastic wrap and let it set at least 8 hours or overnight before using. When ready to use, knead the fondant until it's smooth and supple.

Roll on a surface dusted with powdered sugar. When not using always keep the fondant covered so it doesn't form a skin. Notes If you want to tint the fondant, this is a good time to add the coloring.
