OK, I've searched the galleries and am coming up empty! Can anyone share a photo or idea for a cake I need to do tomorrow?

They want it frosted in chocolate, then written on with lime green and yellow! It's a birthday cake for a man also, and we all know how much fun a 'man' cake can be! No flowers, no frills.

Help anyone?????

And which chocolate recipe will give me the same consistancy of a nice creamy, medium-firm buttercream? Mine always turns into fudge.

I did one recently like that, chocolate with yellow/green. I wrote in both colors switching out every other word. I also did swirls around it. It would have been better looking if I hadn't gotten too carried away with all the swirls. If you don't want to do swirls you can also do some dots around it.

As far as chocolate buttercream, I usually use my regular icing recipe and add in melted chocolate, ssually 6 to 8 oz, and a little more liquid than I would normally use.

I think those colors sound like they would be beautiful together......maybe you could do like TexasSugar suggested with the dots.....when I think of masculine I also think of stripes maybe you could do some fondant stripes in the yellow and green along the sides of the cake.....or maybe some sort of a geometric pattern......simple circles cut from fondant with a smaller circle cut out of the center in yellow and green placed against the dark chocolatey color would be gorgeous!
