Can I Cover A Cake With Fondant Without First Covering With Buttercream?

I have begun to make fondant cakes and when I cover cake with fondant, buttercream always seems to ooze out from bottoms. So can I completely skip the buttercream or is it necessary? I do let the buttercream completely set. I usually leave it for 2 days before I cover it, that doesn’t seem to work. Or do I need to make buttercream thicker?

Can I Use Boxed Cake Mix For A Fondant Cake?

Hi, I have been researching how to make a fondant covered cake, and very few sites say what kind of cake to use. I understand that pound cake would be a good choice because it’s dense.
Has anyone used a packaged cake mix for their fondant cake? How did it turn out? Thanks!
