Can I ice a cake and then use fondant shapes to decorate it? ?

I want to ice a cake with regular frosting, and use fondant as cut-out shapes to stick onto the cake.

Can I do this and have it work out well? Or will it really only look good with a fondant covered cake (as opposed to icing-covered)?

    Fondant will work better, but icing works well to and tastes better, so go with the icing, why not!

    As long as you get the proper texture with the icing underneath it would be just fine. Lots of cakes are iced and then have fondant added (drapery, flowers, etc).

    Have fun!
