Some Helpful And Easy Recipes
I've tried a lot of recipes and have pulled together a collection of those that are most popular among kids
and are also easy to make!
Marshmallow Fondant - Easy to Make, Fantastic to Work With & Cheap!
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
Add the water to the marshmallows and microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Stir well until the mixture
becomes like a syrup. Add the powdered sugar and mix well. Coat your hands and your work surface
with a light layer of vegetable shortening (Crisco). Knead the fondant until it is smooth. If the fondant is
too sticky just add more sugar or if it's too dry add a little more water. It's now ready for use! (For a
large batch use a 16oz bag of mini marshmallows, 2 tablespoons of water and 2 lbs of powdered sugar.)

milk, shortening and vanilla and beat at low speed for about 30 seconds or until well blended. Beat at
high speed for 2 minutes scraping the sides of the bowl once in a while. Add the egg whites and beat for
2 more minutes. Grease and flour the bottoms and sides of your cake pans and pour in batter. Bake
30-35 minutes for smaller round or square cakes and 35-40 minutes for a larger rectangular cake. A
cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cakes in the pans on a wire
rack for 10 minutes then remove the cakes from the pans and cool completely on wire rack before
decorating.
