Yes. Fondant has a very interesting texture and the few times I have had it its been very interesting. The kind i had was almond flavored and was very nice. I see no reason to not eat it unless the baker used the cheap Wilton brand fondant that you can buy from wal mart. That stuff tastes like plastic and I would not recommend eating it.

∙ 14y agoYes, Fondant is edible!! Although I heard that sometimes people just peel the fondant off and eat the cake and buttercream icing without the fondant. So it is edible it just depends on whether you like the taste or not.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes you can, although you will find that some kinds are not as good as others. Fondant is mainly for the look of the cake, to make it look smooth, or neat. But you can eat it, some brands are better than others and the marshmellow kind is by far the best, but you have to make it yourself.

∙ 12y agoAbsolutely, just be sure your icing is smooth (as an imperfections can show through the fondant covering when you're finished). I personally put icing under all fondant, this way if someone doesn't care for the fondant they can just peel it off their cake slice and they will still have a fully iced piece of cake.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoWell, yes. You are actually 'supposed to! You have to have a crumb coat of icing which is a super thin layer that gets rid of the crumbs (therefore called the crumb coat!) You should be able to see the cake through the crumb coat. If you need help on what it looks like just go to Google images or something. Then just roll out the fondant of your choice and make it look pretty!

Do you have to put icing under the fondant on a cake?
No. You do not have to put icing under the fondant on a cake. You can bake a cake and not put any icing on it and just put fondant on it if you wish. No law forces you to put icing on the cake. With that said, How do you plan to stop the icing at the edge of the fondant? Which will you apply first? Normally sugar in the the icing causes it to stick to the cake and also causes the fondant to stick to the icing. So if you have messy people eating your cakes and do not want the fondant to fall off the plates onto the rug as they walk around the living room at a party, it would be best to use icing as a glue.
Do you put fondant over regular cake?

Can you put fondant icing on a carrot cake?
You can, but since fondant is used mainly for its smooth appearance and not used as a 'solo frosting', you first need to ice the cake with a cream cheese frosting, which is the more commonly used frosting for carrot cakes. The fondant can then be added on top of that for decorating purposes if you like.
What kind of cake is used to put fondant icing on?
Almost any cake can be iced using fondant, but some cakes work better than others. Firmer cakes (white, yellow, chocolate, vanilla, bundt, devil's food, etc.) work better with fondant than soft or delicate cakes (angelfood, for example).

How do you decorate cakes?
The simplest thing to do is to icing the cake. Icing can be either made or bought from a store. After that, it depends on what you want to do. People sometimes put toppings (coconut shavings, chocolate pieces / shaving, icing designs, sprinkles, nuts, fruit, cookie crumbs, and so on) onto the cake. Other make designs in the icing or use extra icing to add flair like icing flowers or swirls. Some color the icing to change the look. You can also use fondant, but that is getting a bit more professional.
How do you make a wedding cake?
First, decide how many guests the cake will need to feed. It might be easier to make a small cake to, ""cut,"" and a sheet cake to actually feed everyone. Then you need to decide if you want a round or square cake. Second, purchase all needed ingredients and cake pans. I would advise testing out recipes first so you know exactly how the cake will taste. You will also need to purchase some fondant (which should be available at craft stores). Third, bake the layers of the cake in the desired shape and size. Then stack the layers with icing to hold them together. Fourth, put a layer of butter cream icing all around the outside of the cake. Then you'll want to roll our the fondant and put it on top (follow the package directions since each fondant brand will be a little bit different). Fifth, add flowers and or pipe icing designs. Adding store-bought fake flowers will probably be the easiest. Just take the flowers off before you serve the cake to the guests.

How can you decorate a 50th wedding anniversary cake?
Put icing, it's the most obvious! You know what I'm saying! after that, put a picture on it, your choice! Put decorations such as designs that's obvious psh... flowers and fruits! put cantaloupe because it's good. Here is a real answer for you, This is known as the golden anniversary. I did one that was iced all white, and tiered like a wedding cake, and then I purchased the little gold foil leaves (available at cake supply stores/cataloges) and put them around the border. I also used some thin gold ribbon to tie small bows to put on the top borders. These are delicate details that even the most novice cake decorator can accomplish.
