    Homemade fondant

    If you are in a hurry or like it simple, use store bought mini cupcakes and pre made fondant for this recipe. This just works as well. The best result you will get with homemade components, though.

    Make your mini cupcakes from scratch and, if you feel crazy for amazing taste, make your own white chocolate marshmellow fondant. It really is worth the extra effort.
