Ok so like many I would misspell marshmallow, I too thought it was marshmellow. In searching for a recipe it made me curious about the difference between marshmallow and marshmellow. It's nothing more then a common spelling error. Now that we have cleared that up, a fun fact...They got their name because they were originally made from a plant called Mallow that grew primarily in marshes. Interesting!
Now that your dying need to know about the spelling and origin or marshmallows has been taken care of let's get to the fondant.
In December when I looked for a recipe I just typed 'fondant recipe' into my browser and picked through the ones that came up for something that had good reviews and ratings that also looked like something I could easily make. The end result was a product that I could work with that tasted decent. I was 'Ok' with decent because in my search I found that most people had the same opinion of the taste as I did. I didn't need to search for another recipe as I had found the acceptable standard.
Recently I have been networking with other 'from home bakers' talking recipes and techniques. I found out about this little gem known as marshmallow fondant. To google I go to find a recipe, again I look for high rating and good reviews. Much to my surprise it also looks SUPER easy (minus the 'sticky').
I melt my marshmallow, coat my mixer in baking spray and off I go. It didn't take long and it wasn't too messy. The end result is a AWESOME tasting product and it feels even easier to work with. I will be testing that theory the end of this week.
Stay tunes more to come!!
