Is it possible, and safe for my fixer.....to make MMF in my kitchenaid stand mixer? I didnt know if it would be too thick. I am a "newbie" to fondant making. Thanks!
will this work for regular fondant not marshmellow fondant?
Never turn the mixer up past the first or second setting when you're using the dough hook....basically treat the batch of fondant like you would a batch of bread dough.
I make my MMF in my kitchenaid every time, it's the easiest and cleanest way.
I coat my bowl that I'm melting my marshmallows in with Crisco.
I coat my mixer bowl with crisco and put in 1/2 of my powdered sugar. When the marshmallows are melted I pour them into the mixer, stir it a little, and then let it mix. Once that's all mixed, I mix in the rest of the powdered sugar.
Just remember not to turn the mixer up any higher than the 2nd setting (like Texas_Rose said). I usually never turn it up past the first setting.

Yes...and gum paste too!

Do you still have to knead it by hand some after it is done?

Yes you will still have to knead it by hand when you are done. I grease my hands, pour powdred sugar on the counter, dump it out of the mixer, and knead till it is done.
Here's the video on YouTube that shows the whole procedure.
How to make marshmellow fondant in your Kitchen Aid.
I was out of crisco and coated all my utensils with canola spray and it worked like a charm. That's all I use now! I saw no difference in the fondant. I even spray my hands now.

MissCathcart: this link to the video is worth repeating !!! This is what got me started on MMF in the KA earlier this year. It gave me the confidence to try it.
I Only make half-batches, as I don't use that much. It only takes a few minutes & still works great. A quick rinse of everything immediately afterwards, & it cleans up like a dream. Great inexpensive stuff for hobby bakers.
