Marshmallow Fondant {Dairy-free, Egg-free, Nut-free}

I saw this on Pinterest several months ago and finally decided to give it a try. When I saw the recipe, it wasn't listed as allergy-free, but immediately pinned it to my allergy-free foods board because it totally meets my requirements. I think you'll love this, too. It is VERY easy and quick. It's also very fun to make. My 4 yr old thought it was play-doh at first and when I gave her a cupcake on her birthday, she said, "You put play-doh on it?" This is a great way to decorate your cupcakes and cakes, especially if you aren't so great at doing frosting techniques. I'm a messy froster, so this was probably the neatest cupcake I have ever decorated and I'll definitely do it again!

  5. How is this dairy free if the instructions say to "butter your spoon"?

    1. I use Smart Balance Light which is Dairy free. I'm sorry for the confusion! I should have clarified that. :)

  6. Michelle, that was my question too, but i'm guessing you can use any oil or just a non stick spoon ( like rubber instead of metal)

    1. Sorry for the confusion! Yes, you can use an oil or I use Smart Balance Light which is dairy free - or use a rubber spatula. I still coat my rubber spatula so it won't stick. :)

  7. Hi Amy, I write a complementary health site for children in the UK; www.mydaughterwontsleep.com . I talk a lot about allergies and post the occasional allergy recipe and was looking for a dairy free marshmallow cake icing. I hope you don't mind, but I've linked my post to this recipe. I love the pictures of your daughter! Thanks
