I had been wanting to try to decorate with fondant for a while but didn't want to spend the money on something that others told me wasn't that great tasting. Then my friend said her aunt made the best marshmallow fondant. I had never heard of marshmallow fondant and decided to look into it. Turns out, I can make my own fondant from home with just marshmallows and powdered sugar. Awesome! This was great because my friend's birthday was coming up and I was able to use fondant on her birthday cake. She made it ten times more amazing by wanting a top hat cake.
My friend's favorite color is purple and it was easier to do white instead of black for the hat because I didn't have any black food coloring. The base is just cardboard that I painted white and cut in the shape of a circle.
So this was my first attempt for the top hat. I used a pan we usually bake angel food cake in because I was hoping it would be tall and make a good sized top hat. It didn't. So I kept it for my family and just played around with the left over fondant. Both cakes were very fun to make and I had a blast with learning how to use fondant.
