Marshmallow Fondant


Marshmallow fondant is the better alternative to the not-so-great tasting regular fondant. It is easy to work with and it actually gets eaten!
If you love cake decorating, or want to learn, a good place to start is with my Baby Shower Cupcakes. They are surprisingly easy to do and they are a HUGE hit!

Cranberry and marshmallow fruit salad

You just might be able to get kids to eat this fruit salad; the marshmallow lovin' kids, at least.
Little tartness from the cranberry sauce - little sweet from the mini marshmallows.
Make this in under five minutes!

Ingredients
1 can (16 ounce) whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 can (8 ounce) crushed pineapple, drained well
1 can (11 ounce) mandarin oranges, drained well
1 cup miniature marshmallows
optional - 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
In mixing bowl, stir to combine cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple and mandarin oranges; fold in miniature marshmallows and chopped walnuts; transfer to serving dish. Store any leftovers in refrigerator.

Note -- This makes a nice fruit salad at Christmas time; instead of white miniature marshmallows, use green... you've already got your red from the cranberry sauce!
