Answers:
Fondant and marzipan have similar uses: making decorations, candy or as icing for cakes!. They are made out of different things!. Fondant is cooked and kneaded sugar, water and cream of tartar!. Marzipan is usually a mixture of sugar and almond paste!.

Fondant is easier to work with, as far as rolling flat for covering cakes!. It has a smoother and more pliable consistency!.

Marzipan is tastier, especially if you like the taste of almonds!. also, its texture can make candies look more real (like fruit, flowers, etc!.)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are not the same thing!. Fondant is a sugar "dough" that's rolled out to cover cakes (the heavy smooth coating you see in bakeries) and has a bland flavor!. Marzipan is ground almonds, and has a wonderful distinct flavor!. Although you CAN use marzipan paste as a cake covering, or in other desserts, it's most commonly used to form animals and shapes, which are eaten as candy!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
