I spent all day making Asher's pirate birthday cake. I homemade all the fondant this time and it was surprisingly easy to do. Here is the best recipe ever for yummy fondant:
Marshmallow Fondant
One bag of normal size marshmallows
1 tsp Vanilla
2 lbs Confectioners Sugar
Food Coloring-optional
3 Tbl water
Melt the Marshmallows in the microwave for 30 seconds or so. Just enough to soften them. Dump into a mixer and add vanilla and water. Mix until combined. (Add desired amounts of food coloring at this time) Once everything is mixed well add 1 cup at a time of confectioners sugar until fondant is stiff. Kneed on a confectioner sugar dusted table until you can form a nice ball. You can refrigerate overnight or use right away.
Asher was so sweet about the cake. He kept complimenting me on how hard I worked on his cake and how cool it was. He was even comparing my cake to other birthday's he's attended recently and saying how much better his looked. Such a sweet boy!
Did I mention what a MESS this project was? Well here's the proof
