Working with Marshmallow Fondant

Pin It now!

Marshmallow fondant (MMF) is easy to make but can be tricky to work with when used for more than covering cakes.  As you may know, you can put your MMF in the microwave for a few seconds if it is too hard to knead.  This is an easy fix to the problem but, after it is rolled out it will stretch and change shape easily...not ideal for decorating.  To combat this problem I simply let the fondant sit for a few minutes after it is rolled out.  Once it cools down, it is less likely to stretch.  I also try to microwave the MMF just long enough to make it workable.  I let the kneading soften it further so that it is ready to decorate with from the start.
