Marshmallow fondant is very versatile for decorating desserts, as it’s easy to color and shape. Its sweet marshmallow flavor also makes it a favorite with kids and anyone with a sweet tooth. Use it to cover cakes, make figures or flowers, or top cupcakes and cookies. It can be stickier and more fragile than traditional fondant, so always work on a surface dusted with powdered sugar.
