Some uses for that marshmallow fondant
I am not going into how to make the fondant, you can find that how to here, and it is very good detail.
I add flavoring to it, just because I can.
Be warned, it is a sticky mess and you will wonder if you are sane.

Step 1Make a small cone. You can either tint your fondant or leave it white. Set aside.
I used leftover fonadant from the Lightning Mcqueen cake I made. (My first attempt at sculpting cake and fondant- never worked with it before)
This will show you how to make a rose bud, but I will explain how to do a full rose too.
-
Step 2Make another cone, and flatten it.
-
Step 3Keep flattening it, you want a thinner outside top edge, almost ruffle like.
I use my fingers, if it gets too sticky, put a dab of cornstarch on your fingers
-
Step 4Place the petal you just made on the cone. The petal should be just slightly higher than the cone itself.
-
Step 5Now wrap the petal around the cone.
-
Step 6Make another petal, place on your cone with the first petal's seam on the inside. Wrap.
-
Step 7Keep alternating sides, hiding the seam and adding petals until you like the shape of your rose bud.
Keep making the petals slightly larger, not overly large, and keep them thin.
-
Step 8I think the rose bud looke about right for my idea of a rose bud.
-
Step 9Tint some fondant green. Get out a very small leaf cookie cutter or a very sharp blade. (don't cut yourself, we aren't making a blood rose)
-
Step 10Cut your leaves. These are for the bottom of your bud, not the steam.
-
Step 11Attach to the bottom of the bud.
When attaching, I use a paint brush dipped in warm water and a touch syrup.
Put your bud on a bamboo skewer to dry.
-
Step 12To make a full rose, do step one and two.
Then you will be working in odd number petals.
the first petal is one
the second row of petals number three, when you put them on, overlap the petals.Put your first one one, then the second petal will go on any where from the middle to out.
Your third row will be five petals, put on the same way.
Your fourth and final row (unless you want a really big open roase) is seven petals.
-
Step 13So for a rose bud, you work with one petal on placing the seam on the petal that is around the cone in the middle of the new petal.
With a full rose, you work in increasing odd numbers.
1, 3, 5, 7.

I add flavoring depending on the cake it is covering. The Lightening McQueen was raspberry.
I don't like fondant, but everyone who has tasted the fondant I make like it. They say to them it tastes just like frosting, or candy.
Sweet - Fondant is a pliable type of icing you can roll out and cover a cake, or use it to mold different items. But to use it like clay it can't be too soft.
Covering a cake, you get a perfectly smooth (as long as you take care covering it) canvas to work on.
this was left over fondant from lightning mcqueen, it smelled just like raspberries.
and the mom told me that her son who doesn't eat frosting was going to everyone and pulling the fondant off their piece and eating it.
