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.

What is the difference between fondant icing sugar and icing sugar?
Icing sugar is also known as confectioner's or powdered sugar. It comes in different grades of fineness, 10X often being the highest grade found on grocery shelves. Whatever the grade, it makes for smooth icings, especially when sifted and combined with cream cheese. It also makes an excellent drizzle frosting -- as for sticky buns or pound cake -- when combined with milk, cream or fruit juice. Fondant icing is not really an icing but a sugar, and it's 100x finer than confectioner's sugar. It is used to make fondant, an old-fashioned kind of candy that is easy to make and has a very firm texture, almost like modeling clay. Kept in the refrigerator, fondant lasts for months. It can be flavored with extracts and colored with food coloring. Its unique texture means it can be molded around nuts or candied fruit, and dipped in chocolate and rolled in cocoa or coconut... the possibilities are endless. It makes for very special candies that are pretty and taste good, too.

What is the difference between fondant icing and icing sugar?
Icing sugar is finely ground sugar, which when added to whisked egg whites makes Royal Icing. Royal Icing sugar is finely ground suger pre-mixed with dried, pasteurised egg white. This is good if you want to avoid the "risk" associated with raw eggs. However, the ratio of egg white to sugar is fixed and the only adjustment which can be made is to add water (or lemon juice/glycerine) to vary the texture.

How do you make candy that makes you laugh?
There is no food that causes laughter, but you can make funny-looking candy if you want to. Marzipan can be molded into any shape, so you can create funny figures. Icing and frosting can also be made into shapes. If you're very creative, you can make funny-shaped lollipops, too. You'd have to figure out a way to shape a mold for those.
