   TIPS: If you wish to colour the fondant, add the colour to the melted marshmallows before adding the icing sugar. If you plan on colouring your fondant pink, yellow or orange, buy marshmallows in that colours to avoid having to colour it later. Marshmallow fondant can also be flavoured. Stir in your choice of flavouring after you remove the melted marshmallows from the microwave.
