I accidently bought the wrong kind of cake mix, I bought cinnamon, instead of white. The problem is I had planned on using ganache as the icing, so the question is, are cinnamon and chocolate ganache a gross combo? Also, the filling will be creamcheese! Please, let me know what you think!! Thanks!

Oh gosh, no, this should be a great combo. In fact I add a bit of cinnamon to my chocolate icing often, haha, also a bit of coffee sometimes. No, chocolate goes well with any kind of spice cake. Mexican Chocolate Cake has cinnamon with the chocolate. For people that like cream cheese icing, haha, it goes with most things.

I use the cinnamon mix all the time. It taste good. If you dont want to use the cinnamon mixture you dont have to it is in a separate package so I would not worry too much about it. You can use the chocolate on it, but I dont know about the filling.

I don't know about the chocolate icing, but I would think that using cream cheese filling would make the cake taste kind of like a giant cinnamon bun! icon_biggrin.gif

I think both would be great. The chocolate cinnamon combo makes me think of a Texas sheetcake! I love those and they have cinnamon right in the chocolate cake! And like llee815 said, the cream cheese would be just like a cinnamon bun!
Good luck,
Heather
