Here's the deal:
Since I'm leaving for school in 3 weeks, being crammed in a 200 square foot room, I probably won't be cooking or baking until I come home on the weekends. But there is a kitchen on every floor, so I'll definitely check that out. Anyways, mom said while I'm gone, she would do the baking and send me the pictures, and I'll do the posting - because I think she's always wanted to go into business together :)
SO...Here's the fondant recipe!
1 [16 oz] bag of marshmallows
1/2 cup Crisco
4-5 TBSP Water
1 [2 lb] bag powdered sugar
Put the marshmallows in a large, microwavable bowl, and add the water [all of it at once]. Microwave on high [uncovered] for 2 minutes, or until melted. Try and stir the mixture every 30 seconds.
Once out of the microwave, add 1 pound of powder sugar. This will get sticky...
Take this 1/4 cup of Crisco shortening, and spread it ALL OVER THE COUNTER. Anywhere you will be working will need to be slathered in this stuff.
Dump the lumpy mixture onto the greased counter top. Knead it, adding powder sugar until smooth and firm.
Keep kneading...
The finished fondant should look smooth like this.
Make sure to wrap it tight in plastic wrap so it stays fresh, unless you are using it right away.
An example of what can be made with fondant...I love this little frog...he turned out soo cute!
Finally, if the fondant is too soft, sprinkle it with some more powder sugar, and of course make sure it has been Sprinkled With Love. :)
