Tonight I attended the last class of my fondant class. The only thing that I learned through this whole class is the recipe for Marshmallow fondant--which is pretty darn good.
The recipe is as follows:
16 oz marshmallows---for some reason brand name works best
2 tbsp water
2 lb. bag of powdered sugar
1 tbsp ea. Vanilla flavoring and Butter Flavoring (clear for both)
In a microwavable bowl -- heat up the marshmallows and water for 30 secs. stir and then do for another 15-30 secs until stirs smoothly
Then put in blender bowl.
Add flavoring at this time.
Fold in the powdered sugar 1/4 portion at a time. When all of the sugar is in--it should strain the mixer a little- so take it out and finish working by hand-so you don't burn up your mixer.
Once it is all mixed and pliable-- work it into a ball and then prep it for storage by rubbing a small amount of shortening on the outside and then wrap it in plastic wrap-- then store it in an air-tight container.
If you want -- let it sit for about 20-30 mins and then you can use it the same day.
You can color this just like any fondant--best for covering a cake--
tip---Don't use this fondant for making figures or decorations--use professional fondant...
This is just for taste and covering a cake--does not hold shape as well as professional fondant or gumpaste.
