I always thought the fruit itself gave the sweetness along with the butter and syrup /rum soaked over the weeks.
agree with other poster that the frosting or marzipan cover with add a lot of sweet sugar taste to cake.

If you use both marzipan and fondant it should be perfect :) I bet it is wonderful
Fruit cakes do not have a lot of added sugar in them. Dried fruit is full of sugar. A good fruitcake will taste rich, rather than sweet, but fondant definitely adds to the sugar hit. I use an Australian Woman's Weekly recipe. You can't go wrong with any of their recipes.
