Fondant: The Best Way to Decorate Your Cake; Part One

      Hello readers! Spring has come, but the temperatures are not cooperating in the area where I live. Spring comes bringing bright colors with it. However, in the area where I live, there are hardly any colors- everything is so dull. That's why I chose today's topic to be fondant. There are may things to do with fondant and you will explore some of them in the upcoming three posts. For now, however, we are going how to learn how to make fondant. Let's get started!

      You will need:

• Bag of mini marshmallows
• Powdered sugar
• Extract
• Gum Paste Mix (optional)
• Any color you want to color your fondant
• Water

Steps

1. Take your water and pour it on top of the marshmallows. Put the marshmallows in the microwave until the mix is completely melted.
2. Add a few drops of extract to your marshmallows and stir it thoroughly until it reaches a smooth consistency.
3. Add the gum paste mix to the powdered sugar. (This step is optional).
4. Pour the marshmallows into the powdered sugar and stir thoroughly.
5. Knead your fondant to get rid of air pockets (much like you would do with clay).
6. Add the coloring to it and then knead the fondant again to blend the color in.
7. Store the fondant in an airtight bag or container. DO NOT KEEP IT IN THE FRIDGE.
8. Enjoy!
