    As much as I love Marzipan, I don't think it would be the best choice for this particular cake. The first time I made it plain, the second time I made a rum glaze. The glaze recipe I found wasn't very good, so I'm still looking for one.

    I've never heard of putting marzipan on top of something else. I'll have to remember that!

    How was the fruitcake you made without frosting? I imagine it's very sweet by itself...
    The holly's up, the house is all bright, The tree is ready, the candles alight; Rejoice and be glad, all children tonight.

    It was good, but I felt a good rum flavored glaze would have kicked it up. It might not need one if you put the rum on it like the recipe says. A lot of my friends are teetotalers, so I didn't put any alcohol on the cake.
