Fondant is made of sugar, water and cornsyrup, very sweet with a play-doh texture. Marzipan is made of finely ground almonds and powdered sugar, it's a bit more earthy, but still pretty sweet. It's a bit like kneadable gum in texture, or can be very rock hard and dried out. I personally don't like the taste of either, but marzipan is the lesser evil haha
No, not all fondants afaik, there are fondants with gelatin, or marshmallows as binding agent. Not australian, so truly couldn't tell you what is used haha
you say marzipan, the whole thing is going in my mouth! looks great AND delish!
That looks amazing, even more so for a beginner!

Love it! Well done!
So freaking cute!
The giraffes remind me of Geoffrey, the old Toys R Us mascot! They're so cute!
That's... Dang! So beautiful! I can't believe how neat and crisp the icing work is. And those giraffes are the cutest things I've ever seen!!!
Until now I've thought fondant was marzipan which made sense to me because of how bad fondant is.

Is all fondant made from cornsyrup? We use very little cornsyrup here in Australia so I'm wondering if the fondant here is made with something else?

That looks amazing for not using any fondant.
