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.

∙ 7y agoIt's always best to first put icing on a cake before putting on fondant. The fondant needs something to 'stick to', but the icing is also for taste. A good icing can make a huge difference in the taste of a cake. And since many people don't like the taste of fondant, they often peel it off the cake before eating it. So if there is icing under the fondant, the have more than just a 'naked', plain cake after peeling off the fondant, and they have a much better tasting cake, too. But even for those who do like the taste of fondant, it still tastes and looks better with icing under it. It also looks much more professional, because it is much more professional.

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.

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.

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.

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.
