Fun with Fondant

I recently read about Marshmallow fondant and wanted to try it! So for Gretta's birthday she picked this crazy giant cupcake pan mom had and I thought I'd try the fondant. I made the fondant the night before. It was super easy to make and made me long for my clay wedging days [how I would love a wheel and kiln!!] anyway... Here is the cake!

I think it turned out nice but I literally threw it together! I never give myself enough time for this stuff so I was working on it right before her party started. It took me about an hour but I could have used about 20 more minutes to get the lines straight on the bottom.

I had A LOT of fondant left over so the girls and I made several colors and played with it like clay to make little do dads to top cupcakes for Sasha's last day of pre-school. Here are some of the colors...

...And the girls helped knead the color in. It is pretty sticky so lots of powdered sugar and buttered hands helps.

Here is the final product. Cute, huh? Gretta did great. It was a little tricky for Sasha but I think I had the most fun. I did several after the kids were in bed and I had some quiet. Jonah made a really great monster and skull and bones but that was after these cupcakes.

Here is Sasha with one flower she made, that survived the making!
I think I made this little lady bug. The eyes and antennae are sprinkles.
And the last of the fondant was used to make this for Gretta's baptism! I think it turned out great.
Definitely try this marshmallow fondant. I really enjoyed everything about it!!
