1. i only separate eggs and do the process you described when i make mousse. there is no hard and fast rule- it all depends on the recipe you use.
2. the white vegetable fat should do. maybe you should try it out to make sure it works? have you tried any specialty groceries or baking stores?
3. make your fondant with colour marshmallows and just work that into the design of your cake.
4. buttercream is layered under the fondant so you kind of get the best of both worlds there. and if you layer your cake with buttercream then it won’t be dry or lacking buttercream.

2. you gotta love the internet, I googled and found what we can take as shortening here and the answer was in wikipedia and I found the item in my local shop.

The thing is the few times I made buttercream with butter I didn’t like the mixture. So I hope with veg. shortening it will be fine.

I have been watching youtube videos and there are some great techniques on how to decorate cakes .. there is this seriouscake lady, whose page i love.

3. we get minni packets of marshmallows here .. and they are pink in colour, lets see if I even want to make fondant, I think I might try with frostings first.
