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 goes on cake icing or frosting?
Some argue that frosting and icing are the same thing and the terms are used interchangeably, however there are differences in the two. Both however can be used on a cake, depending on the desired end result the person is trying to achieve. Icing: Some argue that using the term icing is more professional when referring to cake and cookie icing that pipes well and is more rigid. Icing tends to be more sugary and hardens faster. It appears milky and crystal like and can be used for decorating. It is thinner than cake frosting and is used on ring doughnuts, the glossier carrot cakes, and the lines decorating gingerbread men, as well as many other applications. Icing is most often drizzled, brushed, or poured onto the confection and some times the best way to get the icing on the cake is to dip it in. Frosting: Frosting is thicker, creamier, and fluffier than icing. It contains butter and fats, which generally make it richer than icing, and it is more moist and softer than icing. Frosting is usually chocolate or vanilla in flavor and often contains powered sugar. Frosting is generally used on cakes and cupcakes and is piped on or spread on, with a knife or spatula.
How do bakers get they cakes to look smooth?
Well first of all you need to have a particular shaped -out icing spread and if you watch many ADS (advertisments).You can see they always will say about icing spreaders. Cover the iced cake with a sheet of wax paper and smooth it out with your hand. Refrigerate the cake for awhile and peel off the wax paper once the icing has hardened. You will know it is ready when the icing does not stick to the paper. Another way to have the effect of smooth icing is to use fondant. It is like dough, but it is made mostly out of sugar and its easier than trying to get icing smooth..

You love coconut cake but the frosting starts disappearing into the cake after the first day Are there any recipes for a 7 minute divinity or marshmallow icing that stays on the cake?
well when the frosting starts to disapper it means that you are iceing the cake to soon the cake needs to cool for about 20min before iceing if you don't let it cool the frosting melts so i don't think it is the frosting that's the problem :)
Can you put icing under your fondant on a cake?
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.
