Is there an alternative to marzipan/ icing

mysparrow · 2010-11-17 20:51:02

for my homemade Christmas cake? Can anyone help! I hate the taste of marzipan but love fruit cake. The cake I've made is not the prettiest (!) so needs a cover of some sort. I can't seem to find any recipe alternatives. Anyone have a suggestion for me please?:T

Here is an article with different cake frostings, its American, but there's every kind of cake topping you can think of. They seem to do swiss meringue with butter as a buttercream frosting, which I imagine would be delicious, there's also italian meringue frosting on it too. Good luck, and pictures of the finished article, please
