This is the marshmallow fondant recipe I use. I dont usually add all that powdered sugar though, just as much is needed

Marshmallow Fondant Recipe - Allrecipes.com

I tint my fondant with these Wilton gel icing colours [they are kosher]

Thanks for the recipe. Do I have to use vanilla extract. The one I saw at whole foods had some alcohol in the ingredients. Can anything else be substituted ? The baking thread mentioned some vanilla powder but I did not see it in any store.

Also all the recipes for fondant say knead. Do I have to knead with hands or can I use stand mixer ? I use stand mixer all the time to knead my ‘aata’ for rotis and it is kneaded perfectly.
