Marshmallow fondant can crack for several reasons, including incorrect moisture levels, overworking the fondant, or applying it when it's too cold. If the fondant is too dry, it may need a bit of water or shortening added to improve its elasticity. Additionally, ensure that the surface you're rolling it on is adequately dusted with cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent sticking and tearing. Lastly, if the fondant is applied to a cake that is still warm or not properly cooled, it can lead to cracking as it sets.

Can you add xanthan gum to fondant?

Yes, you can add xanthan gum to fondant to improve its elasticity and stability. A small amount can help prevent cracking and make the fondant easier to work with, especially in humid conditions. However, be cautious with the quantity, as too much xanthan gum can make the fondant overly sticky or difficult to handle. It's best to start with a tiny amount and adjust as needed.

To make brown marshmallow fondant, start by melting 16 ounces of mini marshmallows with 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave, heating in 30-second intervals until fully melted. Once melted, add 2 to 5 cups of powdered sugar, mixing until a dough forms. For the brown color, incorporate cocoa powder (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on desired shade) during the mixing process. Knead the fondant until smooth, adding more powdered sugar if it’s too sticky.

Knead more powdered sugar into the fondant until it's not sticky, but still pliable. Add a small amount of the powdered sugar at a time, so you don't use more than necessary, or the fondant will get dry and difficult to work with.
