I recently read in a book to cover a cake in marzipan before covering it in fondant or covering it twice with fondant for celebration/wedding cakes. I haven't used this method yet and was wondering how many people do? And if so what difference does it make? Thanks!!

It's mostly important when using fruit cake as this type of cake can bleed through, and some people do it to get an extra smooth finish as mentioned.

If you use a 2nd layer of fondant do you put something between the two layers for adhesion?

Yep, you can keep it simple and just run a damp pastry brush with water, alcohol, sugar syrup, just to dampen it ever so slightly!
