You can cook Marshmallow Fondant π using 5 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you achieve that.
Ingredients of Marshmallow Fondant π
- You need 4 cups of marshmallows (I recommend Dandies).
- Itβs 2 cups of icing sugar.
- Itβs 2 cups of corn flour (plus extra for kneading).
- You need 4 tbsp of water.
- Itβs of Edible food colour (optional; I've used Foster Clarks).
Marshmallow Fondant π instructions
- Pour water on the marshmallows and melt it in the microwave for about a minute until fully melted. Stir with a spatula to get rid of all those lumps. It's best if you use marshmallows that are made from a vegetarian substitute for gelatin, called agar-agar. Dandies is the only vegan marshmallow brand I know. If that's available where you leave, go ahead and use that and if you can't find it, feel free to stick to regular marshmallows..
- Add all the icing sugar and incorporate it. Then add the corn flour, dust extra corn flour on the palm of the hands as well as on the work surface and began to knead it like bread dough..
- Continue to knead it until all of the icing sugar and corn flour are well combined with the marshmallow mixture. To cover cupcakes and cakes, dust more corn flour and roll it with the rolling pin. To cover cupcakes, cut them into discs with a cookie cutter and cover the top of the cupcakes after icing it. To cover cakes, simply roll it with a rolling pin and then, cover the iced cake; don't forget to trim off the excess..
- You can also use this fondant to make 3D figures of all different shapes and sizes from strawberries to roses. It can be squished into moulds, sculpted on with sculpting tools and it can also be painted on with brush and food coloring/luster or shimmer dusts or written on with edible marker pens. And since Valentine's Day has approached, I've crafted this lovely red bow and left it to dry overnight. This will sit on top of the red velvet cake I'll be baking first thing tomorrow morning..
- Use water/edible glue/stiff consistency royal icing to attach one piece of fondant with another..
