I prefer the Marshmallow Fondant over regular fondant for the workability of it. I made the flag for this cake from Marshmallow Fondant.

It's just rolled to size and then trimmed to neaten the edges and make them straight. The stripes and blue are airbrushed on and the stars are just cut out MMF.

Nice cake Cakescraps. I got down on MMF when I tried another recipe from another site. One thing I have learned over the past year is not to take for granted that these things are going to work everytime. Case in point, I tried a cookie recipe from another site as well. The recipe called for vanilla extract to be added but it was there twice, once in the whites then agian after mixing. Wrong answer.The vanilla extract should have been added after the whites were whipped to a stiff peak not before. So the whites never came to a stiff peak and the recipe flopped.So now I have gotten to the point where I read and re-read these things checking for typos that could spell doom. And momoreg I will try your recipe.Looks simple and to the point thanks for posting it.
