It depends on what the cake needs to be for. Fondant is better for making more intricate details and designs on and for withstanding travel and the weather / elements better. Buttercream frosting is easier to work with, more available, tastes better, and cen be made into colors and fitted around cakes very easily.

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).
Can you refrigerate fondant alone?
I would suggest that you didn't. Fondant can sweat and it will ruin the consistancy of the cake inside. Fondant alone can be refrigerated. I would suggest that you didn't. Fondant can sweat and it will ruin the consistancy of the cake inside. Fondant alone can be refrigerated.

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..

What is classifications of petit fours?
Petit fours are generally classified into: Petit Four Fraise or fresh petit fours, this can include tiny fresh fruit tartlets, tiny eclairs with cream or custard, fresh fruits dipped in caramel or chocolate. Petit Four Sec - sec means dry in french, so this usually applies to little biscuits, shortbread, tuille, and the like, also I belive tiny un-iced cakes like mini friands or meringues with no cream. Petit Four Glace - or iced petit four, this generally applies to the classic fondant dipped, layered sponge cakes filled with buttercream, ganache or soft marzipan. They are topped with marzipan then dipped in fondant before being decorated with piped chocolate or some other decoration. This list is not extensive, petit four has come to mean any bite size dessert item, marzipan fruits, caramel dipped fruits and nuts and chocolates are often used.

What type of cakes did the have on ve day?
Since rationing was in force cakes sugar, eggs, butter and milk were in short supply and margarine was also rationed though less strictly than butter. Carrot cakes were extremely popular as they use less sugar and carrots could be home grown and so had good availability. They also work relatively well made with oil or margarine rather than butter. Honey might be used to substitute for sugar. Milk would be powdered and maybe thinned with water. Eggs would be powdered if they were used at all, some cake recipes from the time rely on bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to create a raise. Pureed apples, grown in Britain, could be used to help sweeten a cake and would also help make it moist in the absence of butter. A tarter apple would also react with bicarb to help the cake rise without eggs. Dried fruit such as raisins and sultanas could help provide some flavour and sweetness. The cakes would be plain, not iced.
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.
