We're
talking homemade fondant :: snicker ::
Marshmallow
fondant has to be one of the most mentally daunting things to create, yet it's
incredibly simple!
This
week’s video was a delicious marshmallow fondant from scratch. The ingredients
are simple and are probably already in your kitchen.
This
recipe makes enough fondant to cover a 4 tier wedding cake 6", 8", 10",
12" and
would normally cost about $30 in stores. Here, you're only spending about
between $3.
You'll Need:
32oz Confectioner's Sugar
1/4 C of Vegetable Shortening
20 oz. Marshmallows
2 tbsp. water
-----
1. In a microwave safe bowl- Heat your water
and marshmallows up for 1 minute
or until soft.
Keep an eye out, they puff up.
2. Transfer the gooey goodness to your
mixing bowl,
add shortening and apply dough hook.
3. While mixing slowly
incorporate confectioners’ sugar and
any flavors and/or
you may be adding. Continue to knead in mixer for five minutes
or until fondant starts to pull
away from the bowl.
4. Transfer fondant from the bowl onto a table well coated
with powdered sugar. Pull up those sleeves and knead all of
your pains away!
*Voila* You've got homemade fondant.
Now
wrap him up (air tight plz), name him if you'd like (too much?)
and pop him in
an air tight container until he can be put to good use.
*Think about your environment. A humid one might call for you to knead in some extra confectioners’ sugar*.
