when i made tried making fondant i was kneading it for ages and it wouldn't hold together. it was like a puddle of melted marshmallows. what do you think i did wrong?
@Pickleberrysisters cold/warm temperatures of your home plays a huge role as well. I had the same problem the first time I made it using this technique. My granite table was cold, but the weather outside was warm. The fondant would not form at all. It would keep melting. I added an additional 1 lb of casters sugar and it formed, but became really sweet. Ended up not using it.
@rockmanticgurl I'm not sure. I've never tried, but i'm leaning towards no. but as i said you could always try and see what happens, sorry i couldn't help much lol
@rockmanticgurl You can melt them on the oven in a pot! Thats how i make rice crsipy. The marshmeelow seems to come out the same as it did in the microwave.
@rockmanticgurl You can actually, in a double boiler (like you would chocolate on the stove). I saw a tutorial where a russian woman who had no microwave did this and it worked out perfectly for her.
Thanks for the fast, easy recipe I'll definitely use it, can you just mix some of the powdered sugar and melted marshmallows in a bowl then knead? Or just knead them together?
thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! i just made it today and it was fast and simple! im 17 and never bake and even i could do this! also i did use margarine instead of crisco and it turned out great! :) thanks again
or skip all that crisco and use parchment paper... i mean, you could probably just throw the marshmellows on top of parchment on a circular platter to microwave it, then just go with the powdered sugar. you shouldn't lose any volume that way
almonds13 i want to make a special cake for the fam.its gonna be a christmas cake.nd as u know the tree is green.so uh,i wanted to ask this question.how can u color ur fondant without edible paint?? :)
@karimechimal I'm not sure, I've never tried. It's only to keep the marshmellows off the table and hands. i've even done it before with out the crisco when i didn't have any, just added a ton of powdered sugar and was trying my hardest to keep it from the table using the sugar.
A tip for those who dont think things out thuroughly, to clean the table just use dish soap, i never thought about ti and i spent over an hour cleaning the crisco off the table then my mom looks at me and says "You coulda just used the dish soap" i was so embarrassed lol thanks for this recipe :D
Umm...iwas just wondering, can you put food color in it? if you do, when do you put it in: while the marsh mellow are melting, or when you're mixing the marshmallow and the powder sugar?
@xXKIRAxXxX you can do either. I like to put it in while the marshmellows are melting . It's easier than trying to make it perfect and kneading it in after it's made.
You should have covered the mixing bowl and spatula in Crisco as well... that's why you got such a small ball of fondant. You wasted a lot of the marsh mellow that was stuck in the bowl and on the spatula.
@XOXOXOKimberlyMeagan Cisco is solid vegetable fat like lard. However you cant use lard because it is a solid animal fat and that taste will come out in your frosting....You don't want your frosting to have a bacon after taste you know..:)))...hope that helps...
Thank you!!! I just start to researching and found your recipe it looks great. My little one love bake so I'm looking for things to do and how to do it. ^^.
I'm going to try making this very soon, and I was wondering if this is sturdy enough to make flowers? Also what would you use to color it? Food coloring, paste, something else?
I used to do this all he time when i was little ( i didnt know it was fondant lol) tehn i always wonder, how do i make fondant with house things! i am so happy i found out lol.
You are great!! You are very enjoyable to watch and made it easy to follow and not boring! Thank you!! I love cake decorating and am seriously looking into learning more about as much as I can! I have never worked with fondant and would like to try your recipe. Thanks!!

Can food coloring be added at this time or do I wait until it has been refrigerated? How many days in advance can I make it?
