I am looking for a cake decorating book that does not use fondant (except for things like flowers on top of the cake). I despise the taste of fondant and refuse to cover the entire cake with a layer of it just to have a smooth surface. Buttercream and royal icing, and ideally -- but not necessarily -- also gum paste.

Wondering if anyone's familiar with a packaged seven-minute type frosting that I used to be able to find until a few years ago. It came in a pouch and you whipped it with hot water in an electric mixer. The frosting was the marshmallow type you would put on an angel food cake. Availability in Alberta, Canada would be helpful too.

Is it possible to make the type of frosting that comes in a can? I love that frosting, but I also love cooking from scratch. I do not like buttercream or thin glazes much. Is there a name for the type of frosting that you usually find in a can? Can it be approximated at home? What gives it its distinctive taste? Do you have a recipe?
