We weren't sure about the icing, either. I had bought a pack of cream coloured fondant icing, a box of icing sugar, some glycerine, some cream colouring and some marzipan. We decided to cover the square cakes in marzipan and then glace icing. The cup cakes would simply have the glace icing. (I'm not sure why we didn't go for the fondant icing on the square cakes; we were thinking of 'fondant fancies' after all.)
Anyway, we made the icing and poured it over the cup cakes, which worked fine. Manipulating the marzipan to cover the square cakes was less straightforward, though and trying to get glace icing to stick to the sides of the square cakes was just not going to happen. I think it was during the icing-a-square-cake-fiasco that we decided on cup cakes for the wedding...
We topped the cup cakes with little lemon and orange slices and they looked sweet. Nowhere near 'wedding' standards yet, but a good first try.
