Delilicious: Marshmallow Sprinkle Skulls
After seeing BabySugar's ghostly cupcakes, I wanted to bake something Halloweenish for my wee ones. I was thrilled when I found these simple and adorable marshmallow skulls – a perfect decoration for a Halloween baked good. With only a bag of marshmallows, color sprinkles and a knife, I turned a regular marshmallow into a spooky skull.

Marshmallow Fondant
Ingredients: 16 ounces white mini marshmallows 2 to 5 tablespoons water 2 pounds powdered sugar ½ cup Crisco shortening (you will be digging into it so place in a very easily accessed bowl) Directions: Melt marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave or double boiler: Put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, open microwave and stir, back in microwave for 30 seconds more, open microwave and stir again, and continue doing this until melted. It usually takes about 2 ½ minutes total. Place 3/4 of the powdered sugar on the top of the melted marshmallow mix.Making Marshmallow fondant
Per Twinkle's comment in my last cake blog, I decided to post what my knowledge is of marshmallow fondant and wish her good luck in making her own, because when I make it, I always FAIL miserably! :rotfl: I generally just buy mine from a local place in Atlanta, but there are all kinds of places where you can order it online and have it shipped to you :solazy: Anyway, here is the recipe that I have tried a few times: http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm And here is a video I found on youtube that may be helpful! Good luck, and let us know how it turned out if you decide to try it!BBQ Grill Cake
This is a cake I just made for my boyfriend's birthday. White cake, mocha chocolate filling, covered with thin layer of butter cream and marshmallow fondant. All of the accents are in fondant except for the "grill grates" which I used lollypop sticks.
Zebra Diva Cake
I made this cake for a sweet lady that loves anything with animal print, glittery or shiny items. This is what I came up with. White cake with butter cream icing, covered in marshmallow fondant.
Gardening Cake
This is cake is vanilla with butter cream icing. Marshmallow Fondant accents. I'm still having a hard time getting the butter cream perfectly smooth as I would like, but I'm slowly getting better.
Shooting Star Cake
Here is a cake I did last month. I have been slacking badly on this site, so I will be posting several today.
This cake was double chocolate with chocolate mousse between the layers, topped with a thin layer of buttercream and Marshmallow Fondant.
Puffer Coats
You can always rely on Burlington Coat Factory for great coats-even designer coats-for a lot less than department store prices. And the wide selection is always a plus. Last weekend I saw this down filled “Chevron Puffer Coat with Faux Fur Trim” by London Fog and was surprised at the price-originally $150, it was now only $70!
