Ingredients:
1/4 Teaspoon salt
2 Cup (one 7-ounce jar) marshmallow creme
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Cup shortening
1/3 Cup powdered sugar
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla
Preparation:
Combine salt with hot water in a small bowl and stir until salt is dissolved. Let cool.
Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl and beat until fluffy, using an electric mixer on high speed.
Add salt water and beat to combine.
When the cakes are cool, use a skewer or a chopstick to make three holes along the bottom, moving the stick around slightly to create space inside the cake. Fit a pastry bag with a small tip and fill it with the marshmallow creme mixture (or scoop it into a resealable bag and snip off a tiny bit of one corner; pipe filling into each cake, using the three holes.
