Melt marshmallows over a double boiler or in a microwave (at 30 seconds intervals) until completely melted.
Place powdered sugar in a large bowl (well-greased) and transfer the melted marshmallows into the bowl.
Mix with a well-greased spoon (on in a mixer on paddle attachment) until the mixture comes together slightly. If you are using a mixer, you can continue to mix until the fondant comes together well. If you wish to add any flavouring or colouring to your fondant, you can add it at this stage. If you intend to use a few different colors for your fondant, skip the coloring step until the fondant is ready for use.
Turn the mixture onto a well-greased work surface and continue kneading until the fondant turns into a dough-like consistency and is no longer sticky. At this stage, the icing sugar might not all be used up and that is fine.
The fondant is ready for use and can be colored at this stage.
If you do not use the fondant immediately, apply a layer of shortening to it and wrap it tightly in a cling wrap. Store in an airtight container. Before using, knead the fondant to soften it.
