What does the future hold?

These adorable little fortune cookies placed atop the marshmallows are so realistic - they even have fortunes in them. First I dyed the fondant to the orangey-brown cookie color, then rolled them out into small balls. I flattened the balls and created the fortune cookie. Just before folding the cookie I slipped a tiny fortune into them. An extra dollop of candy coating ensured that the fortune cookies would stay in place on the marshmallow. Next time I will make the fortunes themselves edible by rolling out white fondant to a paper thin consistency and will then use an edible-ink marker and write the fortune inscription.

Craaack! - "The future will bring many more artistic marshmallows to create"

Bride... awaiting her groom

Ok.. So were back to the bride again… still no groom…yet. But I have included some marshmallows with miniature three tier fondant cakes, roses and rose buds to surround the bride. This soon to be wed miniature treat (marshmallow with groom on its way) seems more in place to be around the mini cakes and flora than she did in an all black setting as in a previous post.  The rose buds on top are small and dainty. . I especially like the look of the fuller in-bloom white roses with pale green leaves.

Coffee Break

This treat provides a small half-heart handle creating a marshmallow coffee mug. Black food coloring is swirled on top and lightly rubbed along the inside circular rim of the ‘cup’. I piped the coating onto waxed parchment in the design of a half heart. When the design piece was fully cooled and set I then carefully removed the paper backing of the parchment. I added the handle piece to the marshmallow that was already draped in a slightly cooled curvature and the handle stayed in place firm.  A delicious treat to complement a real sip of joe.

I do.

This bride is made of all fondant with food coloring details for the facial features. Her head is slightly tiled upward…my next marshmallow should have a groom, taller than the bride and looking down into her eyes. Her white ‘silk’ dress is as smooth and silky as the flawless curvature on the marshmallow. She has an edible veil that is slightly flowing behind her. I have a difficult time sculpting hands on my figures so I concealed them behind her bouquet which consists of one small pink bead flower.



Happy Birthday...Congratulations.....or Best Wishes.....

No matter what the gift-giving occasion may be this delightful present atop the marshmallow would certainly make the receiver anxious to open. The present is made of pink fondant with white fondant ‘ribbon’.  The very center of the bow is a tiny rolled ball of white fondant. (Future posts will show tiny bows with greater detail.)

The gentle pink color of the gift goes nicely with the smooth crisp white of the covered marshmallow.

Adorable little ladybugs

Hand-molded fondant was used for the ladybugs and painted with the tiniest of brushes. A steady hand painted the spots with the darkest of food colorings. The leaves are cut with a tiny fondant puncher, and my knife carefully engraved the fine lines. The ladybugs are crawling over the marshmallow…or perhaps they are trying to take little bites of the soft sweet treat. The candy coating is perfectly draped over creating a smooth surface for the little creatures to sit. I like that the plate is in an outdoor setting…next time I will use a pale green paper liner.



Simple and Sweet

This is a dipped marshmallow decorated in its simplest form. Smooth coating with colored nonpareil balls. This type of sprinkling is easy and gives a little crunch on the first bite. The colors are randomly strewn across the smooth surface of the marshmallow piece. It’s a fun design…easy… and appealing to all ages.
