After posting my Spotlight cake, emploding commented saying saying she'd had trouble with the MMF. I'd heard a lot of people say the same thing in the past. So here's a blow by blow account how I do it, with pictures included.

I've not tried fondant yet, but I have every intention of doing so in the future and have bookmarked this. Thanks!

Awesome. :) Hopefully your first try is a success! If you're covering a cake, I'd recommend MMF. But if you're going to mould figures etc, I'd go the regular stuff. MMF isn't great for moulding.

I can testify that this marshmallow fondant tastes great!

I think you are my hero.
I need a good fondant recipe. The kind I tried to make myself turned out really greasy and WAY too sweet - I don't remember the recipe exactly, but it called for a lot of shortening and powdered sugar. it was easy to make, but not very satisfying.
If i need to make fondant again, I will definitely be using this - i just have to find the right kind of sugar.

Thank you very much for posting this recipe <3

excellent tutorial! anonymous January 17 2013, 13:28:47 UTC

I just made this, my first attempt was an utter disaster as I did not melt till soupy. I know you clearly told me to!! But I did not give up and had patience melting the marshmallows and I'm very proud to say it worked, I've never used ready rolled fondant but have eaten plenty of it so I hope I've made it till the right consistency. Thank you for the detailed tutorial was very helpful, I kept coming back to refer to it as necessary. I have read a few how to that were from the US so was good to see Australian products to know I had the right stuff, and to read that I'd burn the living crap out of my fingers was very helpful :p Thanks again, here's hoping I can turn my ball of fondant into some flowers and baby booties!!!

I am glad to hear you persisted with it! It is easy to go wrong first time with fondant, and even easier to become quickly discouraged by the experience! I am glad I could help. :]
