Fondant Recipe!!!

Fondant has stumped so many people including myself, we see it on almost every cake and cupcake at weddings and any other occasion. When you go into a custom bakery and you order your cake and you say I want it covered in Fondant the cash register rings as if you just hit the power ball. I remember when my husband and I were cake tasting for the best day of our lives aka our wedding, the price didn't sound so bad until I said we want Fondant and boy did that Change a lot. So much that I opted out of a Fondant cake and went for a satiny buttercream finish. I loved my cake I didn't even miss it one bit neither did my guest. So Once I began my cake artist journey I set out to lean how to make this highly sought after dough icing. Now there's a company that makes millions of pounds of Fondant every year and to be honest it taste worse than the leather on the bottom of my husbands church shoes. I discovered many recipes to make the best Marshmallow Fondant , yep forget all that gelatin and other ingredients you can't pronounce or spell and you definitely don't need a sumo wrestler to knead it. So here's the recipe.

Fondant recipe:
1 10oz bag mini marshmallows

2 TBSP butter
2 TBSP + 1tsp vanilla flavoring
1 lb powder sugar reserve one cup for dusting board
Plastic wrap
Cutting board
Food coloring ( optional)

How to make it:

-Place MM in microwave safe bowl with vanilla flavoring.
-Heat for 1 min until MM are melted and begin to expand.

-Of using food coloring add drops at this time and stir till desired color is reached.

-Mixture may look crumbly and chunky ( this is good)

- continue to stir until it is mixed as well ad possible.

-Spread tensing cup of sugar on board, and pour mixture on to surface

-Grease hands with butter and begin kneading, if you need a little extra add it, but not too much or it will be crumbly to roll out.

This weekend was a wonderful success my community has a summer festival in which I participated in. I made 20 dozen of cupcakes, and 100 cake pops. I made a combination of flavors, Red Velvet, chocolate fudge, vanilla, and key lime. I sold out of the cake balls an hour into the event ( :)) ) and sold completely out of red velvet and key lime in two hours, I knew the red velvet would sell fast but even though I'm a key lime fanatic I wasn't sure about others, but it was a hit. This event was great and allowed me to do some networking and get my feet wet in the "shark tank" of selling. I felt a bit nervous in the beginning but soon became comfortable. Overall I couldn't ask for more and hope to be a part of it again.

The past few weeks god has really shown me the power of prayer, I remember giving my two weeks noticeafter deciding that i was going to stay home with my babies full time I knew I was making the right choice, my husband fully supported my decision an allowed me to decide myself. I'm not one for sitting in sweats all day wearing an wearing a banana clip, which is why I started my cake business. I recall feeling like my career had ended but at the same time I was picking up the reigns to something I wasn't one hundred percent sure how to guide. I was a bit worried about what I needed to do to get orders so... Being a person who likes to plan things out but also have a pinch of spontaneity I began to pray and just tell God that he has full control and to send me the business HE wants me to have, and amazingly ive had people call inquiring about my business and telling their friends and business has come from places I didn't expect. I know that in this process my patience is going to be strengthened and my trust in him is going to be stronger than ever.

SAHM!!!
So for anyone who isn't in the loop this little squirt here is my brand new baby girl. Her name is yarah she was born         4-8-11 At 5:57am, 7lbs 2oz, 20 1/4 inches long. She is just the most sweetest baby ever, not just because she's mine but she really is, an perfect in every way. Here she is with her big brother gabe. He has done so well with her always checking on her an kissing her every chance he gets.I love seeing her in his arms, even though I can't remember being held by my brothers when I was a baby I'm almost positive it was exactly like this. I really hope an pray they always have a special bond even there will be those times they are fussing it's just a part of growing up, you fight with your siblings but at the end of they day there's no place you'd rather be than snuggled right under your big brother or sister at night especially if your afraid of the dark. So now that I'm a wife an mother of two I'm an official stay at home mom!!! At times it's a thankless job but the reward is silent but huge, there's always something to be cooked, cleaned, sewn, built, etc alot of people think SAHM just sit in their jammies all day watch soaps an eat snacks...NOT!!! Some days you blink and the days over and you only completed two things off the "to do list" ill never know where the time goes. Like I said before being a SAHM can be a thankless job I wouldn't trade it for anything I love knowing that my children know I'm right there if they need me, even if my oldest is entering fifth grade and is too cool for me sometimes I love every bit of it! I'm so blessed to be able to stay with them. Thank you lord for this opportunity!
