A wonderful and inexpensive way to have a beautiful cake at any function is to make it yourself. I've begun using a recipe for home made fondant (sugary "dough" icing for cakes) using powdered sugar and mini marshmallows!
There are about a thousand recipes online and the end results are beautiful and delicious! I've made fondant for a fraction of the cost than you can get pre-made at a craft store! And in my opinion, it tastes much better!
Here is a recipe I'm waiting to try, scroll down the page just a bit.

Could you possibly add a recipe for the fondant on the ThrifyFun recipe "Popular Topics" section or add some websites you can get the fondant recipes from? I think it is a great idea but have never tried to make it myself. I am going online now to see if I can find the recipes. Thanks for the Info.
