I made fondant!

You'll have to excuse me. I'm a bit excited.

Who would have thought fondant could be so easy? And tasty?

Thanks to Bake at 350 no one will have to buy that crummy premade stuff from the store ever again.

16 oz. bag mini marshmallows
3 TBSP water
2 lbs. powdered sugar (sifted well)
Crisco

1. Grease a large glass bowl with Crisco.
2. Pour in the marshmallows and water in the bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted.
3. Reserve about 1/4 c. powdered sugar. Place the rest of the powdered sugar in the large bowl of a standing mixer.
4. Grease the paddle attachment with Crisco.
5. Pour the melted marshmallows onto the powdered sugar.Beat until a dough forms. There will be lots of loose bits and sugar in the bottom of the bowl.
6. Grease a clean work surface with Crisco and dump out the fondant and all loose bits. Grease hands liberally with Crisco and knead the mixture together, just like kneading bread, for about 5 minutes until smooth.
7. Grease hands again as needed. As the fondant becomes smoother, use the reserved powdered sugar to coat the surface to keep it from sticking.
8. Once smooth, keep white until ready to use. Coat the fondant in a light layer of Crisco and wrap in plastic wrap

This stuff can be stored up to two months at room temperature.

Happy Decorating!
