store bought fondant is not as good as it looks. what i think is that homemade fondant is by far the best. bakers usually put butter cream to make it taste better. hope this helped.
Yes.
yes
Wilton is good doesnt taste the greatest and satin ice fondant is what cake boss uses
no it is edible
No. Fondant is made for a cake meant for looks. Icing is made for a regular cake.
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.
Yes, fondant is edible
Fondant is best for outdoor weddings.
Nope. Overworked fondant is bad fondant. Conceivably you could but the finished product would be worse then if the cake was merely frosted with butter cream which I would suggest if you find fondant too difficult.
The main icings used would be Fondant and buttercream :) other accesories would be made of sugar and marshmallow and edible rice paper.
Fondant won't really "preserve" a piece of cake. It will keep it fresher a bit longer, but the cake will still go bad soon thereafter.
Not originally is is not, no.
NO
No. They buy it.
