here's the cake, which was far from perfect...but it turned out pretty cute and served its purpose, which was mainly for decoration & blowing out candles! :)
the easiest & probably best tasting fondant recipe:
1 (2 lb.) bag powdered sugar
1 bag of mini marshmallows
2 Tbsp. water
crisco
1 (2 lb.) bag powdered sugar
1 bag of mini marshmallows
2 Tbsp. water
crisco
*put marshmallows & water in a large microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until the marshmallows are smooth with no lumps. (stir between each microwave session)
*then gradually add powdered sugar. once it is workable (not super sticky, pour it onto the remaining powdered sugar. (you may want to grease your counter top & hands with crisco to prevent sticking.) knead it until it is the consistency you want. you'll end up using most of, but not all of the powdered sugar. :)
