You can purchase ready made fondant in a craft or cake supply store. Wilton's makes one...although, I haven't found anyone who likes the flavor!

Also, if you go check out the recipes on this site, there is something called Marshmellow Fondant (MMF). I have never used it, but I hear it has a much better flavor.

Good luck!

I just tried the marshmallow fondant and I thought it was yummy! It was pretty easy to make, messy but fun, and fairly easy to use too! I will need more practice since I have never worked with fondant before but it wasn't as hard as I was expecting.

I have used MMF several times and love it, especially because it is yummy. I have also used Buttercream fondant, it is really hard to work with because it is so soft and pliable. I read in another post that when you want to color your MMF, to do it with the melted marshmallows before combining with sugar. I willhave to try that since I have terrible blending issues when I add after it is in a completed MMF form.
