The entire process is pretty straightforward and simple. The color comes from basic food coloring and the actually fondant mixture is from regular ol' marshmallows you can find in any grocery store.
You can use big marshmallows...
..or small marshmallows. It doesn't matter.
Melt the marshmallows in the microwave for a bit.
Mix in the icing sugar.
Knead the "dough" to make sure the icing sugar is mixed in well.
And all of a sudden, you've got some beautiful DIY cake fondant!
Did I mention that you can store your homemade fondant for up to three months. Pretty cool.Well there you go. Easy, tasty fondant that you can use for taking your homemade wedding cake to the next level. Have fun with the colors and the ability to create shapes and textures.

ReplyDeleteI just got engaged last month and was thinking about getting my fiance's sister to make our wedding cake but I wanted the smooth look of fondant. This just might work!

ReplyDeleteCrazy cool!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow.. now THAT is a pretty cool wedding cake. I love the originality and the colors!
ReplyDeleteThis seems too good to be true! Definitely trying it out!
ReplyDeleteThe ingredients used in fondant are the same ones used in making marshmallows. Melting the marshmallows is a shortcut, it's a pretty basic recipe. I make my own fondant and love making my own marshmallows, and it's just different ratios of similar ingredients for the most part.
ReplyDeleteI like that! are very colorful:)
ReplyDeleteVery sticky and messy, but great fun! I tried it today and felt like a kid... Till the crazy sticky web of melted marsh took over my kitchen counter. Is there a special trick I don't know about?
ReplyDeleteHow much Marshmallow, and how much icing sugar?
