In a microwave bowl, add marshmallows and water. Keep this in microwave for about 2 minutes. Keep stirring the marshmallows every 30-40 seconds so that it will not stick. Make sure to grease the bowl and spoon with little oil or butter. I used Marshmelts Vanilla Mist. Bought it online through Amazon. I like vanilla flavour and moreover I wanted to make a red and white Fondant cake for this Christmas. :)
Knead the fondant to get the right consistency by adding sugar. Add little oil or butter if its too sticky. Also add little icing sugar while rolling out the fondant as it prevents the fondant from sticking on to the rolling surface. Better use a plastic wrapper on the table for this.
Once the fondant shape is ready, slowly place it on top of the cake with the help of a roller. Using a fondant smoother, slowly fix the top part and the edges of the cake.
Always make sure to measure the height and length of the cake. I would suggest to consider the diameter of the cake. For example:- if the diameter is 20 cm, consider it as 22-24 cm. This will help the fondant to have enough length and will be easy to spread it on the cake without much trouble. Use colors, depending on your choice. Separate the fondant, and use one drop of food color gel and knead it again. Or try buying, ready mix fondants.
And for the cake part, i used fruit cake recipe. Please refer to my post of Christmas Plum Cake. Here, in the beginning, I used butter cream frosting to cover the cake. And then I used fondant on top of it. This will help the fondant to get the right shape. Also, the edges and the sides of the cake should be even for which I used the butter cream frosting on the cake. I have already published a post before for butter cream frosting. Since I don't want to repeat, am not including the steps here. This was my first attempt using a fondant. Its actually very simple just that you need to have little bit of patience for this. :)
