I have been asked to do a cranberry cake for a fall get-together. What fillings and icings would go well with this? I thought white chocolate would be good, but the hostess does not like white chocolate (and has no suggestions about what she DOES like, just that she wants cranberry something or other).

What else could work?

Has your hostess ever eaten cranberry cake? Ever seen it anywhere ever before?

I'm thinking that there's good reason we don't see cranberry as a sweets flavor (it's not sweet at all).

Maybe consider cranberry for the decoration instead.

Ah. Didn't realize you'd dealt with the cranberry issue.

The first thing that popped in my head was orange infused bc icing with orange marmalade filling. Doesn't that sound yummy?!

I was going to say the same thing jibbies. Something orange, maybe flavored with a bit of Grand Marnier.

Hi. here is a recipe that I found,

You could also use cherry cranberry pie filling too.

Yes......definitely orange. I make a cranberry/orange pecan cake with a cream cheese filling that's basically cream cheese icing with Grand Marnier and orange zest (finely grated) added to it. The 2 flavors really complement each other. I use fresh cranberries not the dried ones. They make great cupcakes too.

Can anyone suggest a TNT cranberry cake recipe?

I would love to try one for the holidays this year, something different.

Thanks!

Orange. Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think of that, I just made a big batch of lemon-orange marmalade filling for my DH's birthday cake the other day and it is delicious.

Jibbies,

I just meant "tried and true". With the price of everything I try to avoid flops.
