Moon cake with home made fondant

What to do when home with a 3 year old who has the flu and who wants to make a snow man - out of sugar, naturally - and you have run out of Wilton's white fondant?

Well, I had a bag of marshmallows (approx. 20 big ones) and some sunflower oil (3 tablespoons) which I melted with 6 tablespoons of water in a water bath (takes quite some time and you should remember to stir once in awhile). Once melted I mixed in with approx. 700 grams of icing flower in my Kenwood (would never have made it by hand!). The result? A perfect fondant.

The fondant snow man was a great success.... unfortunately, he didn't survive long enough for me to take a picture, so instead we made a lemon moon cake, which I brought to work:


The cake was a Lemon Moon cake (Victoria sponge with lemon zest and lemon syrup, covered in royal icing. The stars and the moon was made out of home made fondant)
