Hey hey!
I'm going to share with you how I make Marshmallow Fondant! I've made it a few times and it's not that hard. It is a little messy so be prepared for that, but it's not hard. I watch A LOT of baking shows and frequent A LOT of Facebook pages and groups and Fondant is kind of controversial because most bakers only see it as a decorative item. I've never tasted premade, store-bought fondant but it must be terrible because I've never seen anybody say anything good about it.
I happen to think that marshmallow fondant is pretty good.
To my own surprise I actually really like it on my decorated cookies. I didn't expect to like it at all. I always thought the idea of fondant cookies was kind of silly but I was wrong. I tried it out and it was surprisingly delicious. If you do like to bake, I think you should try it out for yourself at least once. So here's how you do it: Empty a bag of mini marshmallows into a microwave safe bowl with 2 tsps of water and melt in the microwave in 15 second intervals. Once melted, add vanilla extract (or extract of your choice) and add powdered sugar and mix until dough forms. It will need to rest so wrap it in plastic wrap and allow it to rest until it cools. Use extra powdered sugar to roll out fondant if needed. Use powdered sugar in molds to keep it from sticking. Store in plastic wrap and ziploc bag at room temp for several months.
It takes a little practice but as you can see this fondant works great with molds! Even very intricate ones!
Pro Tip
Coat your hands or gloves in Vegetable Shortening and the food coloring will not transfer to your hands!!
