Icing for Wedding cake

#Post

I have made a wedding cake for coming weekend and want to ice it with something other than almond and royal icing. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

How about fondant?

I used chocolate ganache for one of the wedding cakes i made a few years ago- worked really well. I used dark chocolate but you could use white chocolate or a layer of each.

Have you asked the bride and groom what they would like? Personally I wouldn’t want fondant on a wedding cake but they may prefer it - lots seem to use buttercream

How about marshmallow? Don't know how it works exactly but friend who makes those fancy cakes has done a few with it, and it looks normal, but for those who hate that yukky stuff.
Google probably shows how....it's not just chopped marshmallow I know that, she does some actual thing. (I'm no baker so can't be more helpful)

It's a fruit cake so chocolate or marshmellow wouldn't work. I may just use buttercream. The wedding is for a mature couple (70's) hence the fruit cake I just find young people don't seem to care for fruit cake let alone almond icing.

What kind of cake is it??
Because that would influence what is a good match.

ops, question answered.
Young people aren't going to get the fruit cake whether or not it has almond and royal icing.
I don't mind them being peasants... more for you to enjoy!!!

Brandy Butter cream is great on a fruit cake.

I will never understand that - brandy butter goes on mince pies not fruit cake

Dark chocolate ganache actually goes really well with fruit cake, sounds like an unlikely combo but its great!
