Rolled fondant on carrot cake?

Question: I have made a carrot cake and don't wish to use marzipan. Can I put rolled fondant icing directly onto the cake?

Answer Hi Anita, Yes you can put rolled fondant directly onto a carrot cake, however you will probably be able to see the cake underneath through it. So my suggestion is to layer some butter cream frosting onto the carrot cake or even carrot cake icing before placing the rolled fondant onto the cake.
