hi everyone, i have made a mixed spice madeira cake and am wondering what flavour buttercream to make. I did ponder over a lemon or orange but would that be too over powering? Any suggestions greatfully received. Thankyou x

Maybe an orange cream cheese. That way you still get a bit of the the orange that you were thinking about, but it wouldn't be too overwhelming. Or you if you want something a little lighter you could do a vanilla BC with a touch of lemon or orange so you can still get that flavor profile. HTH

I agree. Orange is a wonderful combination to a spice flavored cake. It's so festive!
