Time 1h15m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-1/2 cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
2 Tbsp. water
7 Tbsp. butter-flavor shortening, divided
2 Tbsp. vanilla, divided
4-1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided
teal gel food coloring
1 filled and frosted 2-layer cake
1 tsp. BAKER'S 100% Pure Cocoa Powder
7 speckled malted milk eggs
1/2 cup BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • Microwave marshmallows and water in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 min. or until marshmallows are puffed; stir until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended. Add 5 Tbsp. shortening and 1 Tbsp. vanilla; stir until shortening is completely melted and mixture is well blended.
  • Add 3 to 4 cups sugar gradually to marshmallow mixture, using just enough sugar to form ball and mixing well after each addition. Brush remaining shortening into 15-inch round on work surface; spoon marshmallow mixture onto center of prepared work surface.
  • Knead in remaining sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until blended. Knead in enough of the food coloring until fondant is evenly tinted to desired shade of blue.
  • Roll out fondant to 1/8-inch-thick round, turning and lifting fondant as it is rolled out to prevent it from sticking to work surface. Gently lift fondant and place over rolling pin to position fondant over center of cake. Lightly brush excess sugar off fondant.
  • Beginning at center of cake top, lightly press fondant with your hands onto top and down side of cake to completely cover cake. Use sharp knife to trim excess fondant at base of cake.
  • Mix cocoa powder and remaining vanilla until blended. Dip tip of new paint brush (or toothbrush) into cocoa powder mixture, then use fingers to flick brush toward cake to create a splattered design. Repeat until cake is evenly coated with speckles. Refrigerate cake 30 min. before garnishing with malted milk eggs and coconut.

Tips:

  • For a moist and tender cake, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed and that the cake will rise evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Cool the cake completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a fun and festive touch, decorate the cake with speckled egg candies.
