Konditor and Cook make a variant on buttercream using cream cheese, which, with lemon, they use to top and fill my favourite cake that they make - their so-called lemon chiffon. I have replicated. It is delicious, although I wouldn't call it icing?
I do dislike royal icing (? the rock hard stuff) traditionally put on Christmas cake, and loath that nasty roll out stuff they sometimes use on bought cakes - especially the ones that are decorated to look like unicorns, footballs (!) etc. - the sort of thing Jane Asher may have started a fashion for.
