Apr 12, 2007 · I am just starting to do cake decorating and a recipe calls for marzipan. I can only find fondant at the craft and grocery stores. Do I have to use marzipan or can I just use fondant?

May 23, 2010 · Hi - Hopefully one of the experts from 'across the pond' will be able to help me with this (or anyone else!).

Sep 29, 2011 · Ok, I'm really new at this so please forgive all the questions. What's the difference between fondant, gum paste and marzipan? Is one easier to work with than the other? How do I know when to use what? I'm making an Elmo cake for my daughter's first birthday. I want to decorate the "present" part of the cake with yellow, blue, and red polka dots about 1/2 in …
