Fondant polka dot cake free of dairy, egg, peanut and tree nuts Image

1/4 cup crisco

16 oz bag mini marshmallows

2 tsp pure clear vanilla

2 Tbsp water

2 lbs powdered sugar

Measure the powdered sugar and put in bowl of stand mixer with the hook attachment. Grease the hook with crisco.  Next, measure 1/4 cup of crisco into a large microwave safe bowl and take a small piece of it to grease the whole bowl.  Add in the marshmallows, vanilla and water.  Microwave for 60 seconds and then stir.  Continue to microwave on 30 second intervals and mixing until it's smooth.  Once it's smooth, add it in to the mixer bowl with the powdered sugar.  Mix on a low until it comes together into a ball.  (I like to cover the mixer with a towel because the powdered sugar will be all over the kitchen otherwise!)  Turn out onto a greased surface (grease your hands with the crisco too) and knead the fondant like bread dough until it's smooth.  Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for at least 2 hours.  You will have to knead the fondant again when you are ready to work with it.  It should have the consistency of play dough (or slightly firmer).  This recipe makes about 48 oz. of fondant.

This is beautiful!! How do you make marshmallow fondant?? Please share! I would love to try it!

Beautiful cake - very inspiring!

GORGEOUS!!

Very cool! I haven't been brave enough to try fondant ...

I make my own marshmallow fondant.  It's pretty easy to make (and so much cheaper than store bought) and is easy to work with.

Your fondant looks great. Did you use store-bought or make it yourself?
