Default Icing query

In a rare joint venture, Team Doe are doing an iced cake. My wife is going
to make the fruit cake and I'll be decorating it. My dilema, the 2 recipes I
have : Royal Icing (sug+egg whites) and : Butter Icing (sug+butter) recipe
states "Will store up to 3 days in container in fridge".
I really need an icing which will store up to 3 weeks, any ideas for soft or
hard icing?
My wife dosen't like ground almonds, so this rules out marzipan as an
underlayer. IIRC there's a paste called Kersh or Kirsh (no luck with google)
is this paste almond free? Is there a good recipe out there on the sub
ether? TIA.
