Fondant Recipe:
{affiliate links below. Thanks for the support)
1 bag marshmallows1 2 lb bag of powdered sugar
1 tsp coconut flavoring
1 tbsp water
Directions
melt the marshmallows, coconut flavoring, and water in the microwave. Then in a mixer (Bosch is my favorite) add the powdered sugar. Make sure to add it slowly. You want the fondant to be the texture of dough. A little on the sticky side.
I made some fondant in Arizona and I used about 1/2 of the bag, but in Idaho I use 3/4 of the bag.
I like to use a fondant roller, fondant smoother, and detail tools for cutting and shape making
To make the butterfly shape I baked a cake in a 9x13 pan. Then I cut a square off of it. The end piece of the cake is what I used for the butterfly body. The ears are pieces of fondant squared up.
The possibilities are endless with fondant. I often make cupcakes and fondant when I am watching kids. It is just like play dough. Soft and pliable
