Marshmallow Fondant Recipe


Using this marshmallow fondant recipe is a great way to have a fondant cake and still have a delicious cake. It is a quick process that just requires melting your marshmallows and kneading it with powdered sugar until it is a desired consistency. It can be a messy process so grease your mixing spoon with shortening and grease your hands as well when kneading dough.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt a 16 oz. bag of mini marshmallows with 2 Tablespoons water. Stir every 30 seconds with a greased spoon. When completely melted add 1- 1/2 Cups powdered sugar a little at a time. Blending together.

If it is too dry you'll need to add 1-2 Tablespoons more water. If you'd like to add flavoring add 1 teaspoon of extract now.

Dust your counter with powdered sugar and knead the mixture until it forms a nice smooth dough. You can grease your hands with shortening if the mixture is too sticky. This kneading process may take 5-10 minutes.
