I've made the fondant and it's looking really good. The recipe was so easy and it tastes lovely.

When I make the cake, I will post a picture.

Hi Cookie1

Here is the recipe.

http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/desserts-sweets-recipes/marshmallow-fondant/39528

I haven't tried this recipe as I am trying to make the marshmallows first however if I can't get the marshmallows right I may have to buy them which I don't really want to do but I may get a better result.

 I have tried making fondant icing with lots of things but always find that they come out with a slight yellow tinge and i need pure white icing for a cake that I am making for my sons 1st birthday (I crazily vowed whilst in the labour room to make all of his birthday cakes until he told me he didn't want a homemade one anymore. I think it was the endorphins and adrenaline that fuelled it but it was one of the promises I made to him just after he was born and handed to me!)

Thanks everyone for your welcomes, you all sound like such a friendly group.

Hi All

I am a new Thermomix user originally from Cornwall UK living in Muscat, Oman. My Thermomix was delivered just this week and I am so excited. So far I have made a fairly disastrous Beef Rendang, a lovely onion chutney, great coconut flour brownies (although my husband did comment that he is glad that he isn't gluten intolerant so I'm not sure how successful they were!) sugar free banana bread and steamed some veg, I can't wait to really get my teeth into it.

I want to do away with any bought jarred sauces, do lots of baking for my husband and 11 month old and really start to enjoy cooking again as living in Oman I find it difficult to get excited about cooking as the supermarkets here are less than inspiring.

Looking forward to chatting to you all and trying some of the recipes.
