I'm doing a grooms cake in a few weeks and the groom really does not like frosting. He wants red velvet cake but NO CREAM CHEESE frosting I'm at a loss. Any ideas on what will go with red velvet cake?
That's a tough one.
You could make a trifle-type cake. Fill the layers with fresh fruit or preserves and custard. Brush the top with simple syrup and decorate with fresh fruit and drizzled chocolate.
That's annoying-- can't he just eat the cake part & not the frosting? :O) -- It would be much easier if he would just tell you what's acceptable instead of having you guess. But I think whipped cream frosting would be good too, like the others have said. Its kind of hard to get the same "wow-factor" without frosting but I guess you could drizzle a sugar glaze over a red velvet cake & the powdered sugar too-- Good luck!!
I would say use choc ganache or white choc ganache. It will be loved, but charge extra.
OR
use IMBC it has totally different flavor/texture than decorator icing.
However......I never see the point of making or omitting anything the bride/groom loves/hates. Flippin scrape it off your one piece, don't make 200 other people go without! I know it's their day, but they're ordering cake for 200.
Thank you all for your advice. The hardest part is they also want it to look like a stack of cds so of course I have to use butter cream for the top of the cake. I just thought someone might know of some good flavors to go with the cake that may change his mind about frosting. I don't think he has ever had homemade frosting and maybe he is jumping the gun on saying he doesn't like frosting. I agree with elvis and it is a bit annoying. But they did say no way to the creamcheese frosting and that is all I've ever put on red velvet.
