3 INGREDIENT FONDANT RECIPE FOR ALL WEATHER TYPES! │ CAKES BY MK
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Are you sick of hard to knead, expensive, and not-so-good tasting store bought fondant? Or perhaps you're a home baker who would like to give fondant a go, but not quite sure where to start? Well in this video I'll be sharing with you guys an extremely easy homemade fondant recipe that only uses 3 ingredients, including marshmallows! Yes that's right, pillowy soft marshmallows are used to create this delicious and easy to use fondant, that is perfect for all types of cake decorating!
This recipe is also great to use for all weather types, including dry, hot or humid climates! Still remember to use best practices when using fondant though as even in the perfect weather, fondant can still go wrong when not dealt with correctly. Also take note of the adjustments I mention at 5:05 based on your weather type :)
This marshmallow fondant can also be turned into a modelling paste for projects that require a firmer fondant (such as figurines and flowers). Simply add in about 1/2 a teaspoon of tylose powder (or CMC) per 250g of fondant and you're good to go! If you stay in a really hot climate, adding a bit of tylose may also help in producing a more firmer setting fondant for cake decorating, if you wanted that extra reassurance! :)

Hi MK, Thanks for another great informative video. I will be sharing this with my cake making friends. I love that this fondant is easy to work with and holds well. The fact it can also be used as a modelling clay is awesome.
I like your tip about using shortening on your hands to stop the fondant from sticking to you. You must have the best moisturised hands in NZ!
Thank you so much Stephanie! And hahaha I am so bad at moisturising so lucky I've got that shortening to do the job 😂
OMG thanks for making fondant much easier thanks.
Thanks MK. Been wanting to learn that.

Happy Tuesday MK , I'm watching from Guyana in South America, I love your videos, they are the best , the end result is always excellent. Can you please share the ingredients in ounces as well, I'm not so good with the grams measurements.😊😊 Excellent teacher.
Fabulous recipes
Love this one question is this easy for folks with weak arms and can it be halved ? And does one store it in the refrigerator or room temperature? Thanks 😊 @cakesbyMk
Thanks for you insightful recipes they are so helpful. I have a question regarding how to get this fondant icing coloured with intensity. I saw you heated your buttercream tutorial to achieve this with heating in the microwave can you do the same with the fondant icing?
This recipe looks so easy and doable, thank you! Just a question on corn syrup. Do we not need to add this? Thought it makes it pliable. Its great if we don't really need this. Not sure how it effect taste
Thank you for this video. A couple of questions was it pure icing sugar you used and where did you get just white marshmallows here in Australia?
Hello thank you very much girl may God bless you from Mauritius ❤
Aww much love from New Zealand to Mauritius!
Hi MK, can I use this fondant over cream cheese crumb cake or I of to use the butter cream instead. My daughter will be getting married and I will be making her wedding cake but she wants cream cheese frosting which I think will not hold in hot temperature. I was thinking of filling with cream cheese and Crumb cake with it. Do you think that's a good ideas. She lives in NC.
Hey MK! I can’t wait to try this out soon. I was wondering, do you think this would work well as a base for mirror glaze, provided the cake with fondant chills in the fridge? Would love to know your thoughts!
Hi there! :) Hmmm I don't think this will work well for a mirror glaze as the moisture in the glaze may cause the fondant to disintegrate. You want to keep fondant away from moisture as much as possible, so adding a wet substance on top may not be the best thing! I would recommend using a buttercream or pouring the glaze over a mousse cake :)
Hi. I love the way you explain the recipes. Awesome recipes. Please can you teach us different ways and techniques of writing special messages like ‘ Happy Birthday’ etc. by using fondant and chocolate 😊🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! :D And yes sure will keep this in mind for future videos :)
@@CakesbyMK Thank you so much 🥰💞🙏🏻
Great saver 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂RECIPE
Could I use MARSHMALLOW FLUFF TO MAKE YOUR RECIPE AS WELL???🤔🤔🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
Thank you! Can you store the fondant? and if so, please share how
Thanks heaps 🌼
Mk thanks so much
I looked a lot for this recipe. But in most of they recipe they used corn or glucose syrup... And this recipe looks quite easy and tasty.....thank u mam for this recipe😘😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤
Hi there! Sure you can get these from the local grocery stores here in NZ and we also have a shop called Gilmours where you can buy them in bulk :)
@@CakesbyMKHI Mam! thanks a lot for your suggestion..😘😘😘😘❤❤
Does anyone know if you can use coconut oil in place of shortening when kneading the fondant? I don’t have any shortening on hand. TIA!
Fabulous am definitely gonna try this. Can i ask what size your large glass bowls are pleass
Hope you enjoy the recipe! And the large bowl is 27cm x 12.6cm :)
Mashallah your explanation/instructions are so easy to understand and follow! Alhamdulilah love your videos they are so useful mashallah ❤❤🤲🤲
Hiii!! Can i melt the marshmallows on the double boiler? Thankyou for the recipe! I want to recook it soon, love from Indonesia!❤️
Hi there!! Hmm good question, I haven't tried myself but I think you should be able to! :D much love from NZ to Indonesia! :)
What do you mean "modelling clay"? Is that used for making figurines to put onto of a cake and is it still edible?
Thanks
Sister thank you
Hello Mariam, thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I tried preparing it n got distracted along the way and forgot to add the water. Will it affect my fondant, I jus placed it in the refrigerator
Hi there! If the texture feels okay then it should be okay :) if you live in a humid climate then the water isn't as crucial. If it feels a little too stiff/crumbly once it comes to room temp then you can add a little shortening when you re-knead it to smooth it out :)
Thank youuuu
I love all your videos. It's very informative and I learn alot . One quick question, what can we substitute the Marshmallow with? I am unable to use the marshmallow as it contains gelatine. And I don't take gelatine 😉. Thanking u in advance
Thanks Anu! :) And hmmmm good question! I don't think you can substitute the marshmallows in this recipe unfortunately, but I will keep a non gelatine fondant recipe in mind for future videos :)
@@CakesbyMK thank you so much. Will look forward to learn more
;)
Hi
can i use these fondant for humid and rainy season?
Is the cake with fondant toppers will not be wet or moist after taking out in the fridge ????
Hi there! Yes you can :) and fondant toppers should be not be kept in the fridge as this may cause them to melt when you take them out :) the best thing is to make them and then leave them in a cool dry place to dry. Any condensation on a cake or fondant will be because the change in temp when taking it out of the fridge is too drastic. To prevent this you can take your cake out of the fridge into a temperature controlled room so that it's not too hot :)
I don't have a microwave. I was wondering if I can melt the marshmallow on water steam? Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina ^_^
Hi ,trust you well where in lenasia can I.get shortening?
My first attempt was a failure. When I added the marshmallow to the sifted icing sugar I ended up with lots of tiny lumps. Any suggestions on what I did wrong 😑
You made it look so easy.
Hi Jean! Sorry to hear it didn't quite work out! It sounds like you may have too much icing sugar which is causing the little lumps. Try reducing the icing sugar quantity and remember to keep kneading until it comes together (it will be crumbly at first but will slowly come together). If you find that it's a bit too sticky because of the reduced icing sugar quantity, then you can simply add in more icing sugar :)
Hi Mk, I love all your videos, you are the best, Can you please share with us how to make fondant made with gelatin and not marshmallow ❤️
Awww you are too kind! And yes sure will keep this in mind for future videos :)
Hi ms. MK can i use butter instead if i don’t have shortening? Thanks
Hi MK, I wonder if we can use Kitchenaid machine to knead it instead of kneading by hands?
Hi there! Yess good question you probably could (I haven't tried before myself) as the initial mixture is pretty soft :)
I used to make marshmallow fondant a LONG time ago lol. Me and fondant aren't really friends. I try, but it just doesn't like me for some reason. 😅😅 do you know if there would be a difference using halal marshmallows? Would I just substitute for equal amounts? I really want to try this again. I'm tired of spending so much on fondant and it always cracking on me 🙈
Haha awww I never really used to like fondant either but this one is super easy to make and use! And yes just substitute for equal amounts. I'm using halal marshmallows in this video and they mostly have the same ingredients as non-halal versions so it will be fine :)
Please wat did you call the name of the things you microwave
Can I use this to make the unicorn horn, ears and eyes please and how can I make it harder or do I need to add in tylose powder to make it hard?
Yes you totally can! And yes add in tylose powder. I have the quantity in the description box :)
Thank u so much
Hi MK, thanks for the great recipe, have always wanted to make fondant. Where do you get your white marshmallows from? Haven't been able to fine while ones that are halal here in NZ. Please do let me know, thanks!💜
Hi Sumayya! I use Pascall white marshmallows which are certified halal. Hope that helps :D
Can you show us how to make a dark moist chocolate cake pls?🥺from Mauritius 😘😘
Hi there! I have a chocolate cake recipe up on my channel if you wanted to check it out :)
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank u for sharing. Please can u share another type of fondant .. as in my country Marshmallows are not available. Will really appreciate 🙏
You're welcome! And sure I have a non-marshmallow fondant recipe in the works so as soon as I've got something I'll be sure to share it with you guys :)
@@CakesbyMK thank u. Will really appreciate 🙏 ❤
Hey MK Can you please do a video on modeling clay in a smaller quantity using the tylose powder with marshmallow?
Hi Mishelle! Will keep this in mind for future videos :)
@@CakesbyMK thx MK would totally appreciate it. Hearing about tylose powder for the first time 😅
Hi
Can I ask where you get those marshmallows from please?
Ok thank you for being helpful 🤦🏻♀️
If we used CMC or Tylose when we used it like a gumpaste
Yes that's correct! :)
If it was a real cake, would you turn the whole thing upside down to get those sharp corners? It wont fall apart?
Hi there! Yes you can still use that method (I usually put a cake card under the cake which makes it easier to flip over), or there is also another method you can use where you don't have to flip the cake over. Hope to have a tutorial up on this in the near future :)
Dies the fondant on the cake 'sweat' and form condensation because of the fridge humidity?
Hi Kimberly! If you stay in a hot climate then you may get some condensation, but this will go away as you knead the fondant. If it's a little sticky as you're kneading it, you can just add some more icing sugar. Keeping it in the fridge is only for storage purposes, but once the fondant is on a cake then you should try and keep it out of the fridge :)
@@CakesbyMK Thanks
Is this fondant recipe enough to cover a 2kg tall cake ?
Hi there! I'm not sure how many layers that would be as I don't usually work in kgs, but it will be enough to cover a 6 inch 4 layer cake or 8 inch 3 layer cake :)
Hi sister Assalamualaikum warahmathullahi wabarakathuhu. Can I use normal powder (not icing sugar) sugar , liquid glucose, glycerin and gelatin ? . Plz rply mam
Wassalaam! :) Hmmm I'm not so sure with that many substitutions sorry! It'll be better to find a recipe without marshmallows. Also I don't believe you can use regular sugar when making fondant :)
@@CakesbyMK ok thank you mam. How to make fondant without Marshmallow? Can you plz update video for me .
Me being super lazy . Can i use a stand mixer to knead ?
Hi there! Haha I wish I could say yes, but the fondant does become quite firm which will be too much for your stand mixer I think! :)
I have the exact same table. 😂
Can you make this with veggie marshmallows?
Good question! You should be able to as it will have some kind of gelling agent in it such as agar agar which will replace the gelatine. Would love to hear how you go if you try it out! :)
@@CakesbyMK thank you!! x
Can you please share the recipe of modeling chocolate.
Hi Akshat! Thanks for the suggestion will keep this in mind for future videos :)
@@CakesbyMK oh thanks maam I'm thinking to make my bday cake with modeling chocolate this time and I think so no one can teach me better than you!!
Can u do one without marshmallow?
Yes! I have a video for this in the works :)

@@dursyunasubash3459 Ahh yup okay! I know of one technique where it mimics an edible image so will be sure to keep that in mind for future videos :D
@@CakesbyMK thank you ❤️
👍🇸🇾💌
Omg some of the comments are so ridiculously crazy 😂. She has shared a recipe if you want another type of fondant recipe then search for that type. Don't ask for ridiculous substitutes 😂. If u not happy with the recipe then move on and find another 😂. Also you have so much patients M.K to reply to some of these msg
Any one tried this recipe? How is it?
Thanks so mk but I would request you write for us
Good fondant is actually cheaper & easier to find than marshmallows in Central Europe
Ohh interesting! Thanks for letting me know! I'll have to try some recipes without marshmallows too :)
Quantities?
In the description box :)
Do you have a fondant recipe that does not use mash mallow?
I learned that marshmallows are made with geleten. Geleten are not halal because they come from pigs? How true is it?
Hi Zainab! Good question! So gelatine can also be made from beef, so in many places around the world you can also find halal gelatine which is made from beef. The marshmallows I'm using in this video are made from beef gelatine and are halal :)
@@CakesbyMK thank you for replying. I understand.
