I don't like fondant, b/c I like to do more detailed designs. I use a Antonia74's RI (CC recipe) and leave out the cream of tartar and add just a tsp or so of lemon juice.......a tip I got out of Cookie Craft. You don't really taste the lemon at all, but it takes away some of that weird meringue powder "stale" taste........makes it taste brighter. This RI dries plenty hard enough to stack, but is not a really hard icing and very pleasant to eat.
