I've made a couple of my kid's b'day cakes with marshmallow fondant. It's awesome.

I use this recipe/technique:

Did you click on the link with the recipe? Fondant made using a marshmallow base. Melted marshmallows + powdered sugar + water + shortening.

I made the marshmallow fondant last year and then had three cake failures (related to the baking, not the fondant). I actually love fondant, but thought the marshmallow kind would be popular. Alas, no one got to try anything.

You still need frosting underneath to hold it on the cake. Everyone at DC's bday last year LOVED it. Even the adults came back for seconds.


I use marshmallow fondant all of the time. It is easy to make and tastes like....marshmallows

Pp here with the canned frosting idea - a store bought dairy free and egg free cake is a lot more expensive than what I can do at home. Sorry my cake sounded sad to you - it was delicious for my son!
