I've decided I should just make the angel food cake mix I've had since June and finally use the pan I bought for it at the same time instead of buying a bundt pan. The peppermint fudge cake recipe will have to wait.
Anyhoo, does anyone have a yummy glaze or frosting for angel food cake rather than strawberry or rasberry or chocolate sauce? Thanks.

What about any other kind of fruit?
I'd say to just take a nice fruit compote/jam (without any big chunks or puree it after), add some water or wine and heat it until it melts together and becomes thick.
I'm one of those traditionalist when it comes to angel food. I like it really plain

Here's a Better Homes & Gardens contest winner (well, it was the cake that won, but the cake had the glaze on it):
Quote:
RUM GLAZE: In a bowl combine 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon melted margarine or butter, and 1 tablespoon rum. Stir in additional water, one teaspoon at a time, until glaze is of drizzling consistency. Makes about 1/3 cup.
Don't like rum? Okay, here's another winner. This one was served to me at a friend's house, and I went crazy over it:
Quote:
ANGEL FOOD DELIGHT: Bake cake; cut it in half horizontally. Whip 1 pint whipping cream; add 3 tablespoons sugar and 11 ounces CRUSHED peanut brittle. Frost middle, sides and top of cake. Refrigerate.

My mother's best friend makes angel food cake and puts a lemon glaze on it - it's to die for. I had some when we were visiting in November and asked for the recipe. Not IBS safe - it had either butter or milk or both. However, your question inspired me to dig through the Recipe Index and pull out glaze recipes. I've put links below to the ones that looked interesting - that way I can find them again when I want them. I was even-handed and included the non-lemon ones, too. 
Recipe 1
Recipe 2
Recipe 3 (this one is chocolate)
Recipe 4
Recipe 5
And here's one from outside the Boards, that looks perfectly safe and really, really, really lemon-y. (There's no "pucker" emoticon.)
Recipe 6

Thanks for the glaze recipes. I just checked them out and a couple of them call for egg whites. My questions are:
how would raw egg affect the tummy? and
would egg beaters work?
any thoughts?

Well, for the glazes that call for raw egg whites, I'd use one of the pasteurized egg white products - like Egg Beaters, but without the additives. I use "All Whites" by Papetti Foods. I understand you can also find pasteurized whole eggs, but I've never looked for them.
As for how the rawness would affect your tummy - if it's pasteurized you eliminate the issue of salmonella and such ickiness. As far as IBS-ness, I put dried egg white powder in my smoothies sometimes and I'm pretty sure someone else has posted about putting liquid egg whites in theirs. Plus, you've got to figure that with any of these glazes you're going to be eating so very little egg white in each serving that it's almost nothing.
I don't think Egg Beaters would work - I believe the texture is different and the color might be weird.
HTH.

do you mean can you use rice milk instead of soy milk in the recipes that use soy milk?
If the former, hmmm. I don't know - I'll have to get the exact recipe from her and see.
If the latter, I would think so.
If I've just missed the point totally, sorry.

Sorry, didn't mean to be confusing. I meant could the non-safe recipe with cow butter/milk be adapted to be safe.
