Roll out your fondant onto a well oiled of powdered sugared work space until it's a 1/4 of an inch thick, and as long and as wide as your cakes chosen...
I've made a couple cakes using this recipe since making my heart cake. Thanks again SOO much for this recipe... it's opened up a whole new artistic outlet for me.
Looks great, albeit it is a bit on the sweet side for me. Gotta watch my weight...I wonder if....nah Stevia wouldn't work in place of even some of the sugar.....
Thou art my hero. Love the video. Gonna try this out in the next two weeks. How long can I keep it in the fridge for? I have a few birthday cakes to make, because I know and love tooo many Pisces.
The first time I made MMF was a horrible experience because I used my hands (I didn't have a good mixer at the time) to knead and eventually ended up with "super glued" hands! Haha! Anyways, this recipe is pretty much the same one I follow, but if I could make a few suggestions?
1. Before melting, I like to add about 3/4 C. white chocolate chips to the MM (for white MMF).
2. Just before the MM is completely melted, I usually stir in the food coloring so I won't have to worry about kneading it in later, but ONLY if I'm making a base color fondant. If only a small amount of a certain color is needed, then I would just knead it in afterwards, like this recipe suggests.
I made a chocolate version of this. I substituted 1 cup cocoa powder for the equivalent amount of powdered sugar. Then I mixed the cocoa powder and powdered sugar completely before adding it to the hot marshmallow mixture. The end result was a nice chocolate brown and the consistency was still good.
i have tried to make the other fondants and well it didnt work to well. but this one works great and it is very tasty. thank you so much for putting this one on here.
so cool but here in France we can only find normal marshmallows(in my town tthe minis are like 5$ the 200grams -_- ) ...do I have to change the recipe or will it work anyway? thank you for the recipe
If you want the fondant to remain bright white, use the clear extracts: i.e. butter and vanilla. I have made the marshamallow fondant with these added in and the color stays bright and the flavor is enhanced nicely.
I was so happy with the results of this because it's SO much cheaper than the stuff I bought for my last fondant-covered cake and it did the same job. I don't really eat it so I can't speak to that but the end product was more than satisfactory. Thanks for posting it!
