Steps:
- Place marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of water in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds on high; stir until mixed well. Continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
- Place about 5 cups of the powdered sugar on top of the melted marshmallow mixture and gently fold it into the marshmallows.
- Grease your hands and your counter generously with shortening. Turn marshmallow mixture onto counter and start kneading it like you would dough.
- Add more confectioners' sugar as needed and re-grease your hands and the counter as needed.
- If the marshmallow fondant is tearing easily, it is too dry; add water (about 1/2 tablespoon at a time) kneading it until fondant forms a firm, smooth elastic ball that will stretch without tearing.

Steps:
- For the marshmallow fondant: combine the marshmallows and 1 tablespoon water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Pour about three-quarters of the sifted confectioners' sugar into the marshmallows and stir to combine. Once the mixture becomes too stiff to stir, grease your counter and hands with shortening (or wear greased latex gloves) and dump the mixture onto the counter. Knead, adding more confectioners' sugar a little at a time, until the fondant is very smooth, not sticky and holds its shape in a ball without relaxing. Use right away or grease it lightly with additional shortening, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several days. (Let return to room temperature before using.)
- For the flowers and butterflies: Divide the fondant into 3 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, made an indentation in the top with your thumb and drop in food coloring (start with about 4 drops). Grease your hands and counter with shortening (or wear greased latex gloves). Knead the dough until the color is even, adding more food coloring if you want it darker. Wrap in plastic while you repeat with the remaining pieces of dough and different colors.
- To make a rose, pinch off a walnut-size ball of the fondant color of your choice. Very lightly dust your work surface with confectioners' sugar (just enough so it doesn't stick; you don't want the fondant to look dusty). Roll the fondant to a scant 1/8-inch thickness. Use a small round cutter (about 1 1/4 inch) and punch out 10 to 12 rounds. Roll the first round around itself to create the inside of the rose. Continue to roll the pieces around each other, starting one petal halfway after the previous. Press the bottom together and peel the petals back slightly to open the rose.
- To make a daisy, pinch off a walnut-size ball of the fondant color of your choice. Very lightly dust your work surface with confectioners' sugar (just enough so it doesn't stick; you don't want the fondant to look dusty). Roll to a scant 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 6-petal flower cutter (any size between 2 and 2 1/2 inches) to cut out as many flowers as you can. Use a toothpick to press a line down the center of each petal. For each flower, roll some fondant in a contrasting color into a ball slightly smaller than the center of the flower. Press to flatten slightly and poke the top all over lightly with a toothpick . Brush the bottom lightly with water and stick it in the center of the flower. Lay the flowers inside an egg carton to dry so the petals stand up, 2 to 3 hours.
- To make a butterfly, pinch off a walnut-sized ball of the fondant color of your choice. Very lightly dust your work surface with confectioners' sugar (just enough so it doesn't stick; you don't want the fondant to look dusty). Roll the fondant to a scant 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 6-petal flower cutter (any size between 2 and 2 1/2 inches) to cut out a few daisy shapes. Cut and remove the top and bottom petal with a paring knife, leaving a V-shaped notch; the 4 remaining petals should look like a butterfly's wings. Pinch off 4 tiny pieces of fondant in a different color and roll into balls. Flatten to make spots for the butterfly's wings and attach to the wings, using a little water to adhere. Pinch off a small piece of fondant in a third color and roll into a snake about 2 inches long. Snip the top third in half lengthwise with scissors and pull apart to make antennae. Attach to the body with a little water. Lay a piece of parchment over a rolling pin and lay the butterfly on it, face-down, to dry, about 4 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:
- For the marshmallow fondant: Combine the marshmallows and 1 1/2 teaspoons water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Add about three-quarters of the sifted confectioners' sugar into the marshmallow mixture and stir to combine. Once the mixture becomes too stiff to stir, grease your counter and hands with shortening (or wear greased plastic, disposable gloves) and dump the mixture onto the counter. Knead, adding the remaining quarter of confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until the fondant is very smooth, not sticky and holds its shape into a ball without relaxing. Use right away or grease it lightly with additional shortening, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight plastic bag or container at room temperature for up to several days.
- Remove a 1-ounce piece of the fondant (about 2 tablespoons) and set aside. Color the larger piece of fondant brown (7 or 8 drops), rolling and kneading to evenly incorporate the color. Work in a little confectioners' sugar if the moisture from the food coloring makes the fondant too soft. (Wear plastic, disposable gloves and wash your hands well between colors so as not to bleed colors.) Pinch off a very small piece of the 1-ounce chunk and color with a tiny amount of black gel, working in additional confectioners' sugar if needed. Color the remaining 1-ounce piece tan (about 2 drops), working in additional confectioners' sugar if needed.
- For the monkey heads, ears and arms: Divide the brown fondant into 6 pieces. Divide each piece into a large piece (two-thirds) and a small piece (one-third). Roll the larger pieces into an oval-shaped head. Pinch a small piece off all the smaller pieces. Gather together and roll out to about 1/4-inch-thick with a greased rolling pin. Cut out 12 ears using the tip of a 1/2-inch plain pastry tip. Press a cavity in each ear using the back of a paint brush. Brush the tops of the heads with a little water and stick on the ears. Divide the remaining smaller pieces in 2 and roll into long arms.
- Set squares of parchment on overturned bath cups. Press sets of arms together to make a "v" shape. Drape sets of arms over the cups so the arms hang down. Press the heads on top of the point where the arms meet. Roll out the tan pieces of fondant to about 1/4-inch-thick using a greased rolling pin. Cut out 2 eyes from each piece with the tip of the 1/2- inch pastry tip. Cut out a nose from each with a pastry tip with a 3/4-inch-wide base. Pull the noses slightly to make oval. Brush the front of the faces with a little water. Stick the noses on and make nostrils with a wooden skewer. Use the curved base of a pastry tip to make a smiling mouth indentation. Attach the tan eyes above the nose. Roll the black fondant into tiny eyeballs and press in the eyes.
- Let the monkeys dry, uncovered, overnight.
MARSHMALLOW FONDANT
This is a very easy (and a little sticky at times) way to make a delicious fondant. It's great on cakes, cookies, or just for your little ones to play with! Leftovers will save in a tightly sealed container for a few weeks.

Steps:
- Place the butter in a shallow bowl, and set aside.
- Place the marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High for 30 seconds to 1 minute to start melting the marshmallows. Carefully stir the water and vanilla extract into the hot marshmallows, and stir until the mixture is smooth. Slowly beat in the confectioners' sugar, a cup at a time, until you have a sticky dough. Reserve 1 cup of powdered sugar for kneading. The dough will be very stiff.
- Rub your hands thoroughly with butter, and begin kneading the sticky dough. As you knead, the dough will become workable and pliable. Turn the dough out onto a working surface dusted with confectioners' sugar and continue kneading until the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky to the touch, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Form the fondant into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. To use, allow the fondant to come to room temperature, and roll it out onto a flat surface dusted with confectioners' sugar.

- Remove a 1-ounce piece from the fondant ball (about 2 tablespoons). Wearing plastic disposable gloves, color the 1-ounce piece black (about 3 drops), rolling and kneading to evenly incorporate the color. Work in a little confectioners' sugar if the moisture from the food coloring makes the fondant too soft.
- For the zebra head, legs, arms, ears and body: With greased hands, divide the white fondant into 6 pieces (one piece for each zebra). From the first piece, pinch off a portion of fondant and roll into a head. Pinch off 2 more pieces and roll them into stubby legs. Remove 2 more pieces of fondant and roll into arms. Pinch off 2 tiny pieces of fondant and roll them into triangular ears; use a toothpick to make a crease in each ear. Pinch off a small piece of fondant and reserve for the nose. Roll the remaining piece of white fondant into the body.
- For the zebra stripes, hair, eyes and markings. With greased hands, divide the black fondant into 6 pieces (one piece for each zebra). From the first piece, pinch off small pieces and roll into thin lines for stripes. Pinch off a small piece and shape into a circle for hair, using a toothpick to make indents around the circle. Pinch off 4 small pieces and shape into circles for the pads at the end of the arms and legs. Pinch off 2 tiny black pieces and roll into balls for eyes. Pinch off a small piece of black fondant for the nose.
- For the nose, combine the white and black fondant nose pieces into one gray piece and shape into an oval. Use a toothpick to poke 2 nostrils in the nose.
- Build the zebra: Add a black circle to the end of each arm and leg, using a little water to attach them. Add stripes to the arms and legs. Press the legs together to join them in a "v" shape and set the legs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add the body in between the legs and arrange the arms on the side of the body. Add stripes to the head and attach the ears on either side, using a little water if needed. Attach the hair on top of the head in between the ears, using a little water and pressing lightly to adhere. Press the eyes and nose onto the face, using a little water if needed. Press the head on top of the body to adhere.
- Repeat with the remaining white and black fondant to make 5 additional zebras. Let the zebras dry, uncovered, overnight.
MARSHMALLOW FONDANT
a friend of mine sent this one to me. I really like it. I've found that sometimes (I think it depends on the weather) I don't need to add all of the sugar. It gets too dry, but you'll just have to play with it to see how much you need. Her cakes are amazing! *not sure how long this takes her or how much it makes*

Steps:
- Grease your mixing bowl and a pyrex or glass bowl that can be used to melt marshmallows in the microwave.
- Place 16 oz bag of marshmallows, 2 Tablespoons of water and 2 teaspoons of flavoring of your choice in pyrex/glass bowl coated with shortening and microwave on high for 60 seconds.
- Stir. If all the marshmallows are not melted, return to microwave for approximately 30 seconds.
- Stir. Continue this procedure until all marshmallows are melted.
- Sift one half of the 2 pound bag of confectioner's sugar in a mixing bowl which has also been greased with shortening. Make a well in the center of the confectioner's sugar and pour the melted marshmallows.
- I use the paddle attachment for my KitchenAid mixer for this first part of the mixture. Mix until all the melted marshmallows are incorporated in the confectioner's sugar. Mixture will be thick but still a runny.
- Sift the remaining half bag of confectioner's sugar into the mixing bowl with the melted marshmallows. Change to your dough hook attachment as this will get extremely thick.
- **Note: If you do not have a KitchenAid mixer or heavy duty mixer similar to a KitchenAid, mix this by hand. This is a very thick mixture and very hard even for a KitchenAid to mix. Sift the remaining confectioner's sugar into the marshmallows/confectioner's sugar in bowl and mix. Fondant will be very thick and have a dough like consistency.
- Wrap fondant in saran and make sure no air gets to it.
- It really needs to sit about an hour or so to cool down completely from the melted marshmallows. It needs to be air tight so it will not dry out.

MARSHMALLOW FONDANT
This fondant is really easy to work with, and tastes pretty good (considering it is fondant!). It is easy to color with gel or paste food colors, and is so smooth and satiny. I had never made a cake with fondant, but when my son asked for a lego cake for his 6th birthday, I knew the only way to make those smooth shiny blocks was to use fondant. While my creation is definitely not in the running for any cake competitions, it made my son happy, and when I need fondant in the future, this is the recipe I will use every time. Greasing your implements is very important--this is some pretty sticky stuff! If you try this, I hope you post pictures, I'd love to see how it turns out for you! This recipe made enough to cover the lego cake in the picture with enough left over that I probably could have covered another brick or two. It should be plenty to cover a two-layer 8-inch round cake with plenty left for decorations. The preparation time includes the time the fondant needs to rest, but does not include the time it will take to decorate your cake--that will depend on the difficulty of your design and how much experience you have with fondant. To color fondant, knead gel or paste food color into your prepared fondant (gloves make this step less messy). Fold the color into the center of the dough to help lessen the mess. It's just like edible play-dough, be creative!

Steps:
- Grease a large microwave-safe bowl, the bowl of your stand mixer, the dough hooks for your stand mixer, a large spoon, and a spatula or two.
- Place the water and the marshmallows in your greased microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments (about 2 or 3 times) until your marshmallows are melted.
- While the marshmallows are melting, measure out 1 cup of the confectioner's sugar and set aside. Place the remaining confectioner's sugar in your greased mixing bowl, and make a large well in the center of the sugar. Add the salt to the sugar.
- Stir the vanilla into the melted marshmallows, and pour the marshmallows into the well in the middle of the sugar. With the dough hooks in place, turn your mixer on the lowest setting and allow to mix. If the motor sounds strained, turn it up a notch, but be careful as it may cause sugar to puff out of your bowl.
- Turn the mixer off once all the sugar has been incorporated (it may take about 5 minutes or longer).
- If your dough is sticky, add the reserved cup of sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing well between additions.
- Once you have a smooth dough, turn out onto a piece of greased plastic wrap. Lightly grease the top of your dough, and wrap tightly in the plastic wrap for at least two hours to rest.
- If the dough becoms stiff, microwave about 20 seconds to loosen it back up.
- When you are ready to roll the fondant out, lightly grease your pastry mat and rolling pin so the fondant doesn't stick.
