I love pound cake. I love cake icing. I hate the cake part of normal
decorated cakes. Is there any reason why pound cake cannot be the cake part
of a decorated cake? If none, I'd appreciate some good recipes for how to
bring out the best traits of both? Thanks!

No.

I want to join your team.

Angel food cake is something I can live without for a long long time.

Entenmann's Butter Pound Cake knocks my socks off.

Topped with home-made icing is the cat's meow.

Hm, lots of butter and sugar topped with lots of butter and sugar.
Sounds just a tad excessive.

While a pound cake can truly be the "cake" portion of the cake, consider
one fact. In most iced cakes, the icing is the truly "sinful" and fat
part of the cake. Now, go and add a pound cake, that is full of butter,
and you have created a true arterial bomb. Go ahead and do it, but once
should be enough (if you want to live another day. )

I know of no sinful dessert that isn't excessive. :-) After all, I don't
think dessert was intended to be a staple part of a meal. At least
that's the way I grew up. We didn't have a rich dessert with every
dinner, but when we did there was no limit!

I no longer bake as frequently as I used to, but I not skimp on richness
or excess when I do. Homemade pies are my weakness and any cream pie I
make is made with half-and-half in the cream filling, topped with a layer
of whipped heavy cream. They are, admittedly, suicide pies but they are
enjoyed on rare occasions.

Taking half-measures is totally unsatisfying to me.

I say if you like it, do it. I would rather die eating frosted pound cake
than rolled oats.

Isn't that the whole point?

My wedding cakes are a cream cheese pound cake, of course, topped with icing
(usually started with meringue powder and go from there.
Normally wedding cakes are dry and nasty - but this recipe stays as moist on
Saturday (wedding day) as it does on Wednesday (baking day), actually even
better, and the icing isn't as loaded with shortening as most.

When the original message appeared here I read the Subject line thinking
that the word "pound" was used as a verb! Why not POUND cake with icing?
Beats me!
