I was about to decorate a cake for a friend's birthday today and am at a standstill. Not sure if it will look good, and I've spent an hour searching through the gallery for inspiration...I can easily keep doing that for hours... icon_redface.gif

But I was wondering if anyone has seen or done a cake with chocolate buttercream and colored buttercream together and have it turn out looking good. I know if I did fondant, it would work...I've seen some stunning examples of that, but what about a buttercream cake?

I was thinking blue. Not sure where I'm going with this. I may just dive in and see what happens, but was hoping for some advice. Should I frost in blue and decorate in chocoalte .... vice versa...add white...what am I saying??

It's an 8 inch round 3 inch high and filled chocolate cake....I'm sitting here with my spatula in dire need of a spark of genious.

Should I just stick with one color??

Any thoughs or pictures??
Thanks everyone.
Angie

Blue frost Chocolate decorations....... If the sides are smooth you could do the lacy flower stuff on the sides : )

But the other way would look good too!

Thanks for the reply. I did ice it in a light blue and added chocolate trim. I was having a very hard time smoothing out the frosting.

Thanks again.

some one on here uses wet fantastic paper towel.... I have never but they swear by it. Do a search for smoothing frosting i'm sure there will be a couple responses.
