In this episode of In the Kitchen with Matt I will show you how to make fondant, more specifically marshmallow fondant. This homemade fondant recipe for cakes and other treats is really easy to make using only a very few ingredients. Homemade marshmallow fondant is a little messy to work with and make but it is a lot of fun and it is much cheaper then store bought fondant. There are some countries where traditional fondant is super expensive. So this is a great alternative for people living there. :) If I can do it, you can do it, let's get started!
Ingredients:
1lb. - 16 oz bag of marshmallows (I use the mini ones) (400g)
2 to 4 tbsp. of water (30 to 60ml)
2 lb. - 32 oz bag (8 cups) of powdered sugar (confectioners), sifted (900g)
Food coloring gel (optional)
Shortening for your hands and work surface
Tools:
large bowl
spoon
silicon mat (optional)
sifter
plastic wrap
