Why buy expensive, tasteless (or even gross) store bought fondant? This is cheap, easy to make, and tastes great.

Steps

15 mins

1

Grease a large bowl with shortening. Place marshmallows in the bowl with the water. Grease a wooden spoon for mixing the melted marshmallows.
2

Heat the marshmallows in the microwave in 15 - 30 second intervals until completely melted. Stir in the vanilla.
3

Begin adding the powdered sugar a little at a time. Stir well after each addition. When the mixture begins to form a ball, turn out onto counter or board, covered in powdered sugar.
4

Knead in the rest of the powdered sugar until the fondant is no longer sticky. It may take a little more than the amount called for in the list of ingredients.
5

Wrap in saran wrap or Press and Seal and place in a ziplock bag. Let the fondant rest for several hours at room temperature (although I have used it right away in emergencies).
6

When you are ready to use your fondant, knead well and add food coloring. It should be ready for covering cakes or sculpting flowers and other items.
