They are marzipan. Marzipan is made from almond flour and sugar. It is turned into a paste and molded into shapes or objects.

The best decorations for a marzipan covered cake would be made of colored, molded marzipan or royal frosting.
As long as the marzipan is chilled (cold to touch) so that it will be firm for you to build the Royal Icing against then yes you can.
Marzipan under fondant icing makes the cake too sweet, because fondant icing makes the cake too sweet on their own. It is better to use a buttercream with less sugar.

Marsipan is made from icing sugar, ground almonds and the white of egg.
Yes, But only if you want your cake to look shiny.
Marzipan is not considered a pastry. Marzipan is a confection made of ground almonds or almond paste, egg whites, and sugar, often molded into decorative shapes. It can also be used to cover a cake as icing and can also be a filling for chocolates.
Yes you can, but I would strongly recommend that you only but one or the other on the cake because marzipan tastes horrible with any topping apart from icing. Also marzipan is unbelievably high in sugar! Hope this helps.. x:)

You do it for no other reason than to help make a covering layer or decoration adhere - In a Xmas cake this might be marzipan followed by Royal icing. If you're putting blanched almonds or other fruit and nuts on the cake the apricot glaze helps them adhere and then more is brushed over the topping to give it a golden veneer. It willmake no real difference to your cake if you forgot the apricot glaze. Many people pick off the marzipan and icing anyway.
sound like your doing the same puzzles as me.... it don't start with an N .. re read it, the green is the question, and traditionally its a fruit cake topped with marzipan and icing, so the answer is icing, hope that helps u ;)
