I tried to make a fondant that didn't require marshmallows, but now it's like a really grainy sugar paste. What can I do with it? It has corn syrup, sugar, oil, and cornstarch. HELP!

Were you making a poured fondant or a rolled fondant?  To be honest with you I'm not sure anything can be done with it.  You might try heating it in a double boiler or over a water bath and then, using a stick blender, try to blend it back into a smooth consistency.  If you don't have a stick blender you could slowly pour the heated mixture into your food processor and see if it will blend back.  But like I said...I'm not sure anything can be done to make it like you want it.

Sorry dear, toss it! I know, just let this be an expensive lesson learned...you are a baker I take it, this will be the first of many in your life. I know seasoned pastry chefs who experience the same...it will be okay!!!
