OK is may seem like a really stupid question, but..... when you bake and cover a cake in buttercream and then fondant what do you do when you serve the cake? Do you remove the fondant (a lot of people say it tastes bad) and if you remove the fondant, isn't the cake kinda messed up.? 
What kind of fondant are you using? Is it Wilton?

I just made my first two fondant cakes for the wilton fondant and gumpaste class. I have read all the negative comments about fondant, particularly wilton's, that I was prepared for the worst. It's not that bad. Some people even like it. I took the final cake over to my brother's office to get rid of it. He wanted to know the same thing- how to deal with the fondant.
I told him that the fondant was edible, bit marshmallowy and chewy but nothing horrible. I did tell him to remove the gumpaste flowers and leaves because they were really inedible. When he talked to me later he said the fondant was ok, but nothing to get weird about. In other words cut it with the fondant and let the person eating the cake decide if they want to eat it or not - just as you would do with a buttercream rose. Serve it and let the person eat what they want.
My family scarfed down the MMF I had on my Easter cake=) And I agree with them, it is very yummy when you add flavorings to it! Jen
IMHO - I have used Wilton on my first couple of cakes and think it tastes very Bland.
I just received my first tub of Satin Ice Fondant, tasted a pinch and it is pretty Yummy. Nice Vanilla flavor. I can't wait to use it on my next cake that I will serve to my family and friends.
F&F were polite about the taste of the Wilton Fondant (after begging for opinions). They said it was pretty rubbery and flat tasting, but they loved how moist it made the cake.
I still have a box of the Wilton Fondant that I will use for making flowers and 3D figures or in a pinch, but I am defantly hooked on Satin Ice and will fall head over heals for MMF when I get my big mixer!
Like everyone else has said... Cut the Wilton Fondant cake with a sharp knife and let your guest decide if they want to eat/try the fondant or not.
