Nadia's Fondant Icing

10 1/2 oz bag marshmallows
1 lb 4 oz sifted powder sugar
ivory food coloring
corn flour for dusting
1 TBS water

1. Place marshmallows and water and a little food coloring into a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in short bursts on a medium heat in microwave, stirring each time until marshmallows are melted.

2. Stir in powdered sugar and mix to form a rough paste.

3. Grease your hands and work surface with Crisco. Knead until paste is smooth. Shape into a circle and wrap with cling wrap.

4. Dust a clean surface and rolling pin with corn flour and roll out dough large enough to cover the cake with some excess.

5. Lift the fondant onto the cake and smooth the top using a fondant smoother or hands, making sure you push out any bubbles. You can rub out creases with a little corn flour.  Trim off any excess icing from bottom.
