My first attempt at making it failed miserably. I had tried using my stand mixer, the whole 2 lb bag of powdered sugar, and although I followed the recipe and directions to a T my fondant was hard and dry and crumbly like feta cheese. My second attempt I decided to kneed by hand and slowly work in the powdered sugar until I felt that if I added any more it would be too dry. I only used about 3/4 of the bag and it turned out great! After adding in some almond extract for taste, my marshmallow fondant tasted great too!
I had originally planned on covering the whole cake in the fondant, but I was short on time and didn't need to add an extra worry to how the cake would turn out. So I just stuck with the decorations in fondant.
The cake itself is a 4 layer chocolate cake with alternating layers of amaretto ganache and simple cream filling. Though I was a bit short on ganache to cover the cake it tasted divine. Nom nom!
