Fondant is a sugar paste for covering cakes and making decorations. There are two types of fondant: roll-out and poured fondant. You can get store-bought fondant for your decorations or you can make your own. Home-made fondant has a much better taste than store-bought. You can also add flavoring and coloring to your fondant for a unique taste and look. To add flavoring, substitute flavoring for water. Add your favorite color when fondant is in the mixer; or while you are mixing it by hand if you've changed your mind at the last minute.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sanitize and clean your countertop. Then pour and spread a good amount of confectioner’s sugar over it.
  2. Attach hook to your mixer. Place Crisco and sugar in the mixing bowl. Don’t turn it on yet!
  3. In a microwavable dish, combine marshmallow with water and heat in microwave oven for 1 ½ minutes.
  4. Remove marshmallow from oven. Stir until all the marshmallows melt. Do not put back in microwave oven, don’t need to, just continue stirring.
  5. Pour melted marshmallow into the sugar and Crisco. Star mixing. Mix until all is well incorporated. You will end up with a very sticky ball.
  6. Take dough out of mixing bowl and start kneading over the prepared surface. Knead until no longer sticky. (If too sticky add a little sugar; if too dry add a little Crisco.)
  7. Wrap with plastic twice or put double in zip-lack bags. If possible, let it rest until the next day.
  8. If you don’t have an electric mixer, do all the kneading by hand; it will be just as good but you will need to use your arms muscles a little bit more.
  9. If fondant has turned hard after couple of days, warm it up for couple of seconds, knead again and that’s it.
