Fondant Cakes

by Erica

I decided to give fondant a try. This form of icing has become popular in the US in the past few years. It is a lot of fun to work with. The consistency is similar to pie crust and you work with it like you would play dough. Most people agree that the store bought fondant doesn't taste the best. I found a recipe for marshmallow fondant that tastes a lot better, but is very sweet.
