I'd like to make a hot cocoa flavored cake for my daughter's birthday and plan on filling it with a marshmallow fluff bc. My question is, what should I use to decorate it? Would regular BC taste ok on top?

help?

I would think vanilla buttercream would be good. You could also use whipped cream, and toss some mini marshmallows on top (providing you aren't doing a whole design on top of the cake) but you could still use whipped cream. The cake sounds delicious.

I made a hot coco cupcake last Christmas. I filled them with fluff and topped them with chocolate ganache and it was FABULOUS!!!!!

Instead of flavoring your buttercream with vanilla you could put in a dram of marshmallow flavor.

Thanks for the ides. I will probably do the vanilla buttercream, as i unfortunately wont have time to get the marshmallow flvoring. Thanks for the help everyone!

If you're doing MMF, why would you need marshmallow flavoring added in? Not sure what you could do, honestly.

The one question I haven't asked you (OP), is how you get a hot cocoa flavored cake. Please tell me......

ThePurpleButterfly: I'm not using fondant on this cake, though now that you say that, maybe I should!

cownsj: I use the WASC recipe and plan to sub in cocoa mix and prepared cocoa. I got the recipe from Macsmom. She has a whole list of variations!

We'll then I'd use the MMF since that has the marshmallow taste you're looking for.
