Just a quick "Hello" today before I make lunch for my husband.....I wanted to show you my daughter's pancake art. She was inspired to make her own Valentine's Pancake Candy Box after eating the one I made previously HERE. So, so, cute! I love the additional pancake layers she made for her candy!

A close friend of mine bought me another griddle for my house so that I can have two griddles going at the same time for my kids-pretty cool huh?! It seemed to work pretty similarly to my Presto griddle so it will come in handy around here :)

Gotta go make lunch....thanks for stopping by!

2. Valentine's Candy Pancake

By: Jenni Price, on 1/18/2013

We're working on the 6th commandment right now and I decided on a Valentine's theme for it....stay with me here and I'll explain. Ok so let's start with the 6th Commandment which is: Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.

In order to teach this one, I focused on a theme of loving one another because if we love others, hatred and murder will be far from our hearts.

The three main points that we are working on for this are:

Love your enemies

Forgive

Do unto others

Other verses that tied into our discussion were:

Luke 6:27

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you

and....Luke 6:31

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

So now on to the construction of my Valentine Candy Box......Everything you see is made entirely out of pancakes.

I made a solid red heart base pancake for the box and three heart outlines that fit on top which acted like the sides. It was a little tricky to make them all the same size to fit on top and although not a perfect fit, they worked well enough.

The "chocolates" were basically three small round pancakes stacked on top of each other with a few swirly/heart pancakes on top.

It's been ages since I've made any pancake roses so it took a few attempts

to remember how I used to make them.

This last photo is of a few extra pancake hearts that I made because I had some leftover batter. My son was making a heart shaped butterfly....or at least I think that's what he was making.

Blessings,

Jenni

Exciting news! I just received my copy of Yum Food & Fun For Kids magazine......and guess what??? My bunny pancakes were featured in it! Too cool!!

So, I was excited all day over this magazine feature and I could hardly wait to show it to my kids when they got home from school. Since art pancakes are something that we do together, it was neat to share this moment with them :)

This is seriously the cutest magazine for super fun food ideas and you've just got to see it....

check it out HERE

Here's the feature in the magazine!

My daughter was holding the plate of bunny pancakes in this photo so that was pretty neat for her....she just might tell her friends at school that a photo of her hand was in a magazine-HeHe!

This is an awesome magazine and even my daughter wanted to look at it.....such cute ideas in it!

Blessings,

Jenni

4. Back to Life

Well it's back to normal life again....today I worked on taking down the Christmas decorations and now the house feels sort of sparse. I kind of like it that way though since it feels uncluttered (at the moment). Next up are the Valentine's decorations, which I don't have much of yet, so maybe the kids and I will make some...or not. We'll see.

Isn't this little Ariel princess eraser totally cute? I think this was one of my daughter's favorite Christmas toys this year. I see that you can get it on Amazon HERE but I got mine at Walmart. It was the absolute last one...whew!

There are actually 4 princess erasers in a pack, even though it looks like there are only 2 in a pack, so that was a super happy surprise for my daughter! They are like puzzle erasers and come apart in pieces. So tiny and cute!

Ok so maybe I'm out of the loop here on melt beads, but I didn't realize their creative potential until recently when I started seeing other crafty people online making up their own designs.

This free form type of melt bead creativity totally inspired my daughter. So for like two days she made a bunch of her own melt bead creations. Here she made Ariel and her sisters. Pretty cool huh?! She made several others but these were her favorites I think.

How are things going for you? Are you getting back to normal life also?

5. A Merry Christmas Manger Pancake

By: Jenni Price, on 12/17/2012

JacketFlap tags: Pancake Tutorials, Seasonal Pancakes, Add a tag

Luke 2:11

For unto you is born this day in the

city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

I'm sharing with you today a tutorial that I began writing last Christmas, but it's been waiting all year for me to finish up...so here it is now, finished and ready for you to make!

You could cook up the pancakes on Christmas Day or ahead of time and freeze them or you could make them for a fun snack (like I typically do). Any way you choose, I hope you have fun!

Supplies

-Griddle or large skillet

-Pam Cooking Spray

-Large mixing bowl

-Electric mixer

-Four Condiment Squirt Bottles

-Yellow, Brown, Green Food Coloring

-Paper Towels

-Spatula

-Spoon for mixing

-4 clear drinking cups

-Candy (mini chocolate chips, mini M&Ms)

Recipe

2 Cups + 2-4 Tbsp Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix (the just add water mix)

1 Tbsp Sugar

1 ½ Cups Water

½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions

In a large bowl, stir the pancake mix and sugar together with a spoon. Add the water and vanilla extract and stir until moistened. Take your electric mixer and beat the batter until it's well blended. If you have too many lumps, they will clog up your squirt bottle. At this point, you may need to add a little more pancake mix (one Tablespoon at a time) depending on your batter's consistency. You want the batter thick enough to “draw” with but not too much where it wont squeeze out of the squirt bottle. Divide your batter into 4 clear drinking cups. Color your batter yellow, brown, and green using your food colorings (use the graphic above to get an idea of how much batter each color will need). The 4th cup doesn't have any color. Carefully add each cup of batter into separate squirt bottles.

Spray your griddle with cooking spray but do not turn it on yet. Take your brown batter and draw the main part of the manger.

Now draw the legs for the manger.

Switch to your green batter and draw a half circle and a shape that looks almost like a triangle to represent the baby blanket.

Grab your white batter and draw the round head and a dot for a nose.

Take your yellow batter and draw straw. It's best to draw the straw above the manger so that you can visually "measure" the width of the straw based off the size of the manger.

Now it's finally time to turn on your griddle to 200 degrees. Let the outlines cook for a minute or two and then take your brown batter and fill in the manger.

Fill in the blanket with the green batter.

Fill in straw with the yellow batter.

Finally, fill in the head with the white batter. Now wait until the batter starts to loose it's shine and bubbles before flipping it.

Decorate your pancake with mini chocolate chips and mini M&Ms.

Merry Christmas!

6. Keeping the focus on the True Meaning of Christmas

Window decals: A gift for my kids from their grandparents

I think I'm in denial or something because Christmas has just snuck up on me this year and it's getting closer and closer and I'm not ready for it yet!! If only we could slow down the clock in December!!!

I had about a heart attack when I walked into Walmart yesterday and saw that they had a digital "Countdown to Christmas" conveniently placed next to the door. I know that's on purpose of course because it evokes panic (which is probably what they want!).

Anyhow, last night I got out my Advent Christmas book that I've had since I was a child and started reading it to my kids. Of course we are like 10 days late in starting it, but it was good to get it out. The illustrations could be better so if you know of a cute advent Christmas book, please let me know! So with all the craziness of this season.....

How do you celebrate Christ's birth and

keep the focus on him during this holiday season?

7. FAQ: Where to find Pancake Art Squirt Bottles

By: Jenni Price, on 12/6/2012
Blog: Jenni Price Illustration (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Pancake Art FAQ, Add a tag

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving break! I'm still catching up after the holiday but I'm getting there. I'm planning on writing several posts coming up answering some of the frequently asked questions that I get. So, probably one of the questions I get asked the most is:

Where do I find squirt bottles for pancake art?

Ok so they're actually just plastic condiment bottles and I buy mine at Walmart in the kitchen isle. I see that you can buy them online on amazon.com HERE as well but they cost more than Walmart and then you have to pay for shipping as well.

There are generally two kitchen isles in most Walmart stores and it's in the Gadget one.

Check it out...only $.97! I have tons of them in my cupboard just in case!

Make sure and check that the nozzle isn't bent (as sometimes they are) so that the pancake batter squirts out straight and not crooked.

If you have any questions that you'd like answered, let me know and I might write a post about it :)

Blessings,

Jenni

Here's a few fall things we've done this month:

We went on a leaf hunt and made bunting with them and wax paper
The third photo is of my son grabbing some leaves from a tree in a secret hideaway place back in the woods behind our house.
My kids got poison ivy from the special hideway place that I mentioned above (so sad)
The last couple of photos is of a batch of colored sugar cookie dough that my kids are playing, eating a making cookies with.

This is a drawing made by my daughter. She told me that the turkey's feathers match the colors in the words so that he can hide behind them. So cute!

I'm signing off of my blog early for the holiday. Here's wishing you a happy Thanksgiving!

Blessings,

9. Encouraging Creativity: 5th Commandment

By: Jenni Price, on 11/8/2012

Exodus 20:12

Honour thy father and thy mother

I handed over the pancake squirt bottles this week to my kids and let them have fun and be creative. They LOVE making pancake art, so they were excited to make their own! Anyhow, we are working on the 5th Commandment in the Bible and they made a snowman Mom and a snowman Dad to represent it.

If you want to follow along with us and make snowman pancakes also, I used:

2cups + 3-4Tbsp of Krusteaz pancake mix

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 tsp vanilla

1Tbsp sugar

four squirt bottles

4 colors (blue, red, black and white-the white squirt bottle had the most pancake batter)

Cooking spray or oil

spatula

griddle

If you have young children, keep the griddle between Warm-200 degrees (depending on their age). If you have a child between 4-5 years old, you can keep your griddle turned off until it's time to cook the pancakes.

This is my daughter's artistic creation. The black small pancake dots are her snow. The square shape on the first snowman is a colorful blanket.

This is my son's snowman version.

I made up the batter 1 1/2 hours before my kids came home from school and I refrigerated it. Then when it was time to pick them up, I took the batter out of the fridge and let it warm up some.

Did you know that you can have a pancake "art style?" I think so really. It's funny, my kids have their own artistic pancake styles. My daughter likes to create really big "scenes" with a lot of little pancakes involved and my son has a drippy batter pancake style. He often makes a really giant pancake.

Blessings,

Jenni

10. 4th Commandment in Art Pancakes

By: Jenni Price, on 10/24/2012
Blog: Jenni Price Illustration (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Add a tag

Exodus 20:8

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Here's our muffin tin representing the 4th Commandment.

There's a beautiful local church not too far from our house that has a very striking red roof. I mean, it's super bright red but I like it. I think the roof is made out of some type of metal so it's really shiny too. Anyhow, I was thinking of that church when I made this pancake.

Here's my tiny sketch surrounded by pancake squirt bottles.

My muffin tin had raisins, raspberries and chocolate bunny crackers. As usual, this was for an after school snack.

My son stuffed raisins inside the raspberries. I should have tried one to see if it was a good combination.

My kids like to divide up the pancakes and make their own creations with them...I'm all for that! Bring on the creativity!

This was my daughter's version.

This is what my son came up with using pieces of the church pancake.

I think my kids might like when I make them pancake buildings the best because they like to take them apart and make their own. I've often thought that someday I should just make building pieces only and let them make whatever they want with them.

Speaking of such, have you ever seen my very first muffin tin? It was created all in snowman parts that my kids built with. Want to see the start our muffin tin snacks HERE ......that seems like a long time ago. It will be 2 years in January!

Blessings,
Jenni

11. Panda Bear Cookie

By: Jenni Price, on 10/16/2012
Blog: Jenni Price Illustration (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Add a tag

I painted this panda bear on fondant a little while back and I'm now just getting around to sharing it with you. It was on top of the batch of gingerbread cookies that I made and froze recently and I packed this cookie in my daughter's lunch.

My daughter loved the cookie and I think this might possibly be my favorite painted fondant so far. It had many food coloring wash layers and took several days of drying in-between time since it was painted on marshmallow fondant. I sure wish food coloring on marshmallow fondant dried faster because the marshmallow taste is so good.

Since the time I painted this, my daughter is no longer into her fixation with panda bears. I've been sad about this sort of. Any time my kids get "into" things, I guess I do too. Do you know what I mean?

She loved panda bears forever really and if you've been with my blog for awhile, you might remember all the panda bear art projects my daughter and I did two summers ago. Panda bears have been around in our house for a long time I guess....time to let them go now and get "into" something new.

Here's a photo of the panda bear in-progress. When I snapped this picture, I was just starting on the first wash with the outfit and the umbrella.

Blessings,
Jenni

12. Tutorial: Teaching the 1st Commandment in Art Pancakes

By: Jenni Price, on 10/12/2012
Blog: Jenni Price Illustration (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Add a tag

Exodus 20:3

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Teaching my kids the Ten Commandments with pancakes has been an effective, interactive way to learn them and something fun that we do together!

I thought you might like to join in on the fun also so....I'm sharing with you today a simple tutorial for making the ribbon pancake representing the first Commandment based off of my original one in this post (where I talked with my kids about how there is just one God and we are to serve him only just like how in a competition there can only be one first place ribbon).

Getting Started

Start off by dividing your pancake batter (I like to use about 2 cups of batter) into three cups. Use food coloring to make a dark blue batter (this cup should have the most batter in it since you'll use the most dark blue), a cup with light blue batter and a cup of yellow batter. Transfer them to three condiment squirt bottles.

Next lightly oil your griddle and turn it on to the Warm setting. Any higher than the warm setting will make the outlines cook too quickly before you have a chance to fill them in.

Take the dark blue batter and draw a circle with a number one inside.

Switch to your light blue batter and make dots around the circle.

Take the dark blue batter again and trace around your original circle. This will fill in the gaps between the dots and add strength to them.

With the dark blue batter, draw the bottom part of the ribbon.

This step is optional but if you would like to add a light blue decoration at the bottom of the ribbon, this is the time to do that with the light blue batter.

Your all done with the outlines! Now it's time to fill them in. Take your dark blue batter and fill in the bottom ribbon.

Switch to the yellow batter and fill in the top of the ribbon, making sure to completely cover over the number one that you created in the first step.

****Turn up the griddle to 200 degrees and let them cook.

You can turn them over when they look bubbly and loose most of their shine. Let them cook for about 1 minute on their flipped side.

These are fun to serve with syrup of course but mostly I serve my pancakes with yogurt, strawberry or blueberry cream cheese or applesauce. It's fun to change it up (and healthier than syrup-which I like!).

Blessings,
Jenni

13. Happy October!

Wow, what a day-46 degrees! I am sooo loving it!

I snapped this photo in my backyard a few days ago. Fall is really on it's way!

With the school year in full force, I'm really trying to get dinner prepped in the mornings or make simpler meals. I ran across this sneaky chef blog last weekend and have spent waaaay too much time contemplating trying some of her recipes. The recipes seem simple but the prep work I think would be fussy. Still, I love the idea of sneaking in vegetables in meals, especially in my son's lunch.

I noticed that when I pack my son's veggies in his lunchbox, it takes him the entire lunch just to eat them and then he doesn't have the time to eat anything else (I told him that he must eat his veggies first). Anyhow, maybe sneaking them in would be a better way to get those veggies in at lunch and then I can battle him at dinner to eat his veggies. Just a thought.

Also, a Big thank you to cuteeverything for featuring my painted cookie!

Happy October!

14. Angry Bird Cookie

By: Jenni Price, on 9/25/2012
Blog: Jenni Price Illustration (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Add a tag

I'm not sure if Angry Birds and cookies go together since cookies are generally something most people are happy to eat....

so I wonder if it's possible to eat an "Angry looking" cookie and enjoy it with a smile?

Or...

Would a person feel happier eating a smiling face cookie?

I don't know.

Anyhow, my kids love to play Angry Birds so I thought they might enjoy a gingerbread cookie with the main bird character painted on the fondant.

The main challenge for painting this little guy was the fact that I had to keep opening up the game to see what the red bird looked like every time that I painted. With marshmallow fondant, I have to paint in stages and let each layer dry completely in-between. So that generally means painting each topper for a few minutes for about 3 days. This is a big fault, in my opinion, of marshmallow fondant since it takes so long for the colors to dry. But there's so much I do like about it that I'll probably continue to use it for now.

Have yourself a happy/Non-Angry Bird day!

15. 3rd Commandment in Art Pancakes

By: Jenni Price, on 9/18/2012
Blog: Jenni Price Illustration (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Add a tag

Exodus 20:7

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain;

for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

The third Commandment really stumped me for awhile but I came up with this guitar idea during worship on Sunday morning.

I explained to my kids that instead of using our voices to use God's name disrespectfully, we can use our voices to lift up our Savior and praise him with our words and with song.

Another verse I read to the kids about praising the Lord:

Psalm 92:1-3

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,

and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,

and thy faithfulness every night,

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;

upon the harp with a solemn sound.

I had so many ideas that I would have loved to play around with but I was super short on time so I had to make something simple.

I created two identical guitar pancakes to make into a sandwich with strawberry cream cheese inside.

Blessings,
Jenni

16. Birthday Cake Painted Fondant Cookie

By: Jenni Price, on 9/10/2012
Blog: Jenni Price Illustration (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Painted Cookies, Add a tag

I recently finished this birthday cake painted fondant cookie topper but I really should call it an un-birthday treat because it's not really anybody's birthday around here.

This painted fondant is on top of a large gingerbread cookie (from that batch last weekend that I made and froze).

I used the new fondant recipe for this one and here's my thoughts on painting on top of marshmallow fondant:

It produces beautiful colors

the food coloring gel drys super slow so painting in layers took me several days (arrg!)

I might have said this before but it tastes great! That's a big plus for fondant!

The bottom layer was disturbed easily when I tried to shade it so I had to paint ever so lightly

Overall painting on marshmallow fondant proved to be the toughest type of fondant so far....I mean, major challenging, but I still thought it was worth the fight because it was relatively easy to make and tasted great.

Blessings,
Jenni

17. Gingerbread Fight

JacketFlap tags: Non-Pancake Cute Food, Add a tag

Isn't a 3 day Labor Day weekend wonderful?!!! It's been a crazy week for us and I'm thankful for some down time.

We've been back and forth to the doctor this week a couple times for my son, who got a bad case of poison ivy. He told me that he sat right on the ivy while he was playing and he's very allergic. Not good. I've felt so bad for him!

So with some quiet down time this weekend, the kids and I rolled out and made gingerbread cookies. This particular recipe had vinegar in it, which I thought sounded strange but it tasted good.

Can you tell that the kids were in charge of the "decorating?" Hee!Hee! Of course they had to cram on as many candy pieces as they could without their gingerbread men falling apart.

It didn't take long before a fight broke out among the Gingerbread men...possibly for the best, ideal location on the cooling rack (whatever that means?).

This sort of looks like a drop kick....don't you think?

Wow, those gingerbread men are really wrestling!

Somebody better break up that fight!

I suppose we better intervene and make some room on that cooling rack......want a gingerbread? Several of these troublemakers need a good home.

Wishing you a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

Blessings,

Jenni

18. 2nd Commandment in Art Pancakes

By: Jenni Price, on 8/27/2012
Blog: Jenni Price Illustration (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Add a tag

Exodus 20:4

Thou shalt not make unto

thee any graven image

This week I'm teaching my kids the 2nd Commandment and I decided to make tools since they can be used to build and make idols. I thought that construction tools might be more fun in pancakes than carving tools.

I was really rushing for time so everything had to be pretty simple. It's a little hard to see the tools because the muffin tin is gray and so are certain parts of the tools so here are the main pancakes:

Toolbox and Lid
hammer
saw
nails
wrench
screwdriver

Yep, those saw teeth are definitely not sharp!

I made several pancake construction nails

I read Exodus 32 about how the Israelites created a golden calf idol using tools....and afterwards, I think the concept of "tools" helped them understand what I was trying to represent.

We also talked about how anything that we love more than God can become an idol and what it means when God says that he is a jealous God.

Now on to the 3rd Commandment.....yikes! That one has me totally stumped! Any ideas??

Blessings,

Jenni

Check out this box full of artsy balloons! My personalized balloon artist is making yet another appearance on my blog....she showed up last year around this time too HERE. So who is this mysterious gal? My little girl!

She set up a crazy fun balloon shop at her school recently and sold her awesome balloon creations. I was so excited to hear at the end of the day how her shop went and I was so happy to hear that it went well and that she even had a line for them.

She totally picked up this cool skill on her own..pretty awesome don't ya think? So, I'm just going to brag on her a little bit here because, well, I'm allowed to you know, since she's mine and all :)

Any comments on her balloons.....I'll pass on to her. She'll Love them!

Oh...and before I forget, Happy Valentine's Day friends!

20. Taking a Break

Jonah and the Whale pancake I made for my kids last year

I'm writing today to let you know that after a lot of thought and prayer, I've decided to take a break from blogging. I have several personal art projects I'm working on....and some around the house that I keep meaning to do. Maybe if I take a blogging break I will get them done....maybe...and maybe not! hee he!

Over the past year I have really enjoyed blogging and sharing the pancake art that I've made for my kids with you. It's been an artistic outlet for me but also it's pushed me to think of creative methods of teaching my kids about our faith in Jesus.

I hope that you (or your kids) give pancake art a try because it's really fun.....but more importantly, I hope that I've inspired you to use your gifts (whether they are creative or something else entirely) as a way to teach your children about the Lord. After all, teaching them about Jesus and helping them to grow a faith in Christ that is heaven bound is the best gift that you can give to your kids.

Thank you so much for blessing me with your friendship!

Just a few of the tutorials in the download

Hi Friends! I'm stopping in to let you know that I've put all 11 of my pancake tutorials into one download (sort of like an E-book)! I'm excited to be able to put them all together like this! You can check it out HERE

I already have ideas for another E-book if this one sells well......in the meantime, I'm planning for lots of pancake art coming up with my kids for this summer. BUT, I'm not sure my kids will let me have the squirt bottles! Ha! Ha!

I'm still on "blog break" but I'm here behind the scenes so please feel free to contact me any time.

Blessings,
Jenni

23. I'm Blogging Again!

Hello again friends! I'm coming back to blogging!

It's been many months since I've posted here but the pancake batter was still being flipped around at my house, but mostly by my kids and their friends. After a nice long break, I'm ready to take over the spatula again and begin creating some pancake art myself.

While on blog break, I painted several Easter fondant toppers for my kids and as gifts. Time was short so my bunny design had to be simplified more than I originally had planned for. The food coloring was barely dry before I handed them out.

I saw a neat video tutorial online on how to attach fondant to cookies. I've always used frosting but I'm going to try THIS technique by Shelly the next time. I'll let you know how it goes.

Painted toppers all ready for the cookies

I hope you stop by again and say hello!

Blessings,

Jenni

24. 10 Commandments in Pancake Art

JacketFlap tags: Ten Commandments Pancakes, Add a tag

Exodus 20:3

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

I'm starting to work on teaching my kids the Ten Commandments with art pancakes and I created this muffin tin to represent the first commandment.

The way that I presented this was as an object lesson in that while playing a game, only one person can win the first place trophy in that game. So just as there can only be one #1 prize, we believe in only one God, and serve and worship Him only....our #1 and only.

My kids were anxious to eat their pancakes so I didn't have time to play around with my camera and take better shots so this one is unfortunately quite crooked. I hope you can still figure out what it looked like.

It's been such a long time since I've made art pancakes myself that I felt very rusty using the pancake squirt bottles again. Still, it was fun!

This last trophy wasn't on the muffin tin and I just made it as an extra with leftover batter.

Now I've got to figure out how to represent the 2nd Commandment in pancakes....I have some ideas but the 3rd Commandment is probably going to be one of the trickiest. Any ideas??

Blessings,

Jenni

25. Marshmallow Fondant

I finally took the plunge and tried my hand at making marshmallow fondant. I've been meaning to make it now for quite some time. There's a few things that I'm looking for in fondant and if this turns out well, I'll share this particular recipe.

So far, this is what I think:

The taste was great
It was quite sticky to make but still, easier than the kind where you have to cook the gelatin on the stove. So that was a nice plus!
So far, it has stayed soft while being stored for a few days in the cupboard all wrapped up.
easy to roll out smoothly

Here are the things I need to find out still:

Does it create a nice surface to paint on with soft gel paste?
Does it take multiple shading washes with the edible paint without disturbing the bottom paint layer much?
Does it become so hard when it dries that it's tough to eat?

I'll let you know the rest of my thoughts on this soon....do you have any thoughts on working with marshmallow fondant?

Blessings,
Jenni
