My daughter has asked me to make a chocolate cake, vanilla sponge and traditional fruit cake for her wedding. She wants all 3 decorasted to look the same with white fondant icing. Please can you tell me how to cover the chocolate and sponge cakes with the fondant. Does marzipan have to be used? I am concerned that a layer of this plus the fondant will be too sweet - are there any alternatives you could suggest. Thank you
