Directions
Marshmallow Fondant,This recipe has a really nice flavor to it! easy, I’ve made this three times and it keeps coming out better. I definitely recommend using the stand mixer, just crisco the heck out of it. Make sure you add a bit more crisco add you go along or the texture won’t be right.

Keep Kneading, This Stuff Is Sticky at This Stage! Add the Rest of the Powdered Sugar and Knead Some More. |

Re-Grease Your Hands and Counter When the Fondant Is Sticking. If the Mix Is Tearing Easily, It Is to Dry, So Add Water (about Tablespoon at a Time Then Knead It In). It Usually Takes Me About 8 Minutes to Get a Firm Smooth Elastic Ball So That It Will Stretch Without Tearing When You Apply It to the Cake. |

Its Best If You Can Let It Sit, Double Wrapped, Overnight (but You Can Use It Right Away If There Are No Tiny Bits of Dry Powdered Sugar). If You Do See Them, You Will Need to Knead and Maybe Add a Few More Drops of Water. |

Prepare the Fondant For Storing by Coating It With a Good Layer of Crisco Shortening, Wrap in a Plastic- Type Wrap Product and Then Put It in a Re-Sealable or Ziploc Bag. Squeeze Out as Much Air as Possible. |

Mm Fondant Will Hold Very Well in the Refrigerator For Weeks. If I Know That I Have a Cake to Decorate, I Usually Make 2 Batches on a Free Night During the Week So It Is Ready When I Need It. Take Advantage of the Fact That This Fondant Can Be Prepared Well in Advance. |
