Marshmallow Fondant Cake!

When you hear the word "fondant" you'd probably think it's gross, but decorative. This custom cake made by me and my cousin, proves that wrong. This is a marshmallow fondant, that is tasty and decorative at the same time! Ingredients: 1/2 tablespoon of water, mini marshmallow bag, large bowl, powdered sugar, food dye of choice, cake recipe of your choice, and icing. Recipe for fondant: Take a large bowl such as a popcorn bowl and fill half of it depending on the size of your cake with the marshmallows. Pour water, then pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Once it's done, take it out and stir it with a spoon until it looks like a thick, slimy consistency. After that, throw it in the microwave again. While all this you should also prep and bake your cake so later it can cool. Once the marshmallows are done, grease your counter or cutting board (recommend counter) with cooking oil such as Pam, pour about 3/4 of powdered sugar on the grease, and then pour the marshmallow goo on top of that. Grease your hands well and toss and fold the marshmallow goo and the powdered sugar until it reaches a thick, dense and smooth consistency. Take the food dye, make a drop on it, and fold the fondant again until it makes a smooth color. You might have to use more than one drop to make your color, and if you want two different colored fondants, make another batch. After you color it, grease a large piece of wax paper and put your fondant on. Take a tool useful for rolling and flatten the fondant out, then from there you can cover your cake with the fondant, or cut out shapes! Your cake MUST be cooled or else it will melt your fondant! Decorate the cake with whatever sequins you want! If you can see, my cousin used the leftover fondant to make mini roses! Be creative! Raw recipe based on Feast of Fiction, but our recipe was completely custom. Rating: 5-5. Health Rating: 2-3
