Cut dates into coarse pieces. Rinse raisins and currants in boiling water; drain well. Mix dates, raisins, currants, glace fruit mix and diced almonds. Sift flour with soda, salt, mace and ginger. Beat eggs lightly; mix in condensed milk and fruit-almond mixture, then blend in flour mixture. Spread evenly into well greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake at 300 degrees, 1 hour, or until well-browned and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool; cut into 48 squares about 1 1/2 inch thick. Beat powdered sugar with lemon juice and enough cream to make frosting of dipping consistency.

Decorate white squares with slivered almonds and chocolate nonpareils; decorate pink squares with cherries and lime rind. Makes 48 petits fours.
