Ingredients
1 – 16 oz bag regular or miniature marshmallows
1 – 2 lb bag confectioner’s sugar
2 Tablespoons water
2 teaspoons vanilla
Shortening
Directions
Grease a glass bowl and a mixing bowl. Place water, marshmallows, and vanilla in the glass bowl. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir, and if not completely melted microwave for another 30 seconds. (If you want to color it, add the color to the melted marshmallows. I used wilton icing coloring in royal blue.) Meanwhile, sift half the bag of powdered sugar in the mixing bowl. Pour the melted marshmallows on top of it and stir until incorporated. Then add the rest of the powdered sugar.
When mixed, place on greased saran wrap. Wrap and place in an airtight container. Allow no air to get to it. Let it set until cool. When ready to use, grease the table. Then roll it out. Making sure the rolling pin and table are VERY well greased. Roll it until it is 1/16th of an inch thick. Carefully lift and place on frosted cake. Smooth over and down the edges. Cut off at base.

Awesome blog, chicka! I’m digging your duplo party! Very creative. It reminds me of when my girls were babies- 13-15 years ago and a baby wipe brand carried wipes in containers that looked like large lego blocks. We would store crayons, toys, blocks in them.

Very cute theme and party, love how you call them duplo’s we call them lego’s here. That cake is precious, I’ve always wanted to try making fondant, thanks for sharing the recipe.
I love this cake! Great idea!
How did you get that great blue??? I love the home-made fondant – used it for the first time last year, to cover donut holes & make “ghosts” for my youngest’s Halloween party at school! Now that’s a great snack – the kids loved them. Anyway, your Duplos turned out great and I’m sure your son enjoyed the party! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Super cute! You are so creative!
I’d love for you to link up to our Crafts for Under Twenty Somethings party going on now. It’s a blog hop specifically for kids and teens related “stuff”, so your post would be perfect!
