Hi there...this is my first time posting. I am doing a wedding cake for a friend and she would like lilac accents on it. I need to clarify what that means but as of right now, I will assume actual lilacs and not lilac-colored flowers. Any suggestions to how to go about making them?

Also, any good recipes for a pistachio filling? It is for a chocolate cake. Thanks!

For pistachio filling you can make a faux bavarian cream using instant pudding & Rich's Bettercreme or Pastry Pride:
