Fondant is an excellent medium for creating decorations on cakes. It can be rolled out to cover the surface and also poured to make different shapes. Gum paste is also a great way to make detailed decorations. It is stronger than fondant and can be rolled out very thin. It dries hard and can be brittle to work with so extra care must be taken to avoid breaking pieces you've created!

How do you make colored fondant icing?
Use gel coloring, not the liquid colors you can buy at the supermarket. Knead the fondant to soften it, then add the color and knead it in until it's thoroughly mixed. Some colors will deepen overnight, like Americolor's super red and super black.If you are making the fondant and need an entire batch of one color, it's easiest to add the color when you add the liquids to the recipe.If you're making black fondant and don't mind it having a chocolate taste, substitute 3/4 cup cocoa powder for 1 cup of powdered sugar in your recipe, and you'll end up with dark brown fondant. Add a tiny bit of black color and let it rest overnight, and it will turn a nice dark black.

How do you make and Easy 2 layer fondant cake and does marshmallow fondant taste good?
Fondant is relatively easy to work with but, in my experience, not delicious at all. To make a 2 layer cake, you simply bake two different sizes. Drape the fondant over the bottom layer and trim, then place the smaller layer on top and cover it with fondant. If you do not plan to add additional decorations along the seam of the two layers (I would recommend doing so), you may want to cover the top layer with the fondant prior to placing it so you can wrap a little under and avoid scoring the bottom layer while trimming the top. If you are making a very dense cake, you may want to insert wooden supports into the bottom layer to support the top.
