Hi everyone, this is my first post so be gentle.
I've got a cake to do this week and I'm stuck for ideas - as usual the person has left the design up to me and informed me the recipient is a goth and goes kickboxing. They want a baileys flavoured spong cake - I was thinking of putting some black colouring paste in the batter to make it black with a red buttercream filling? would this look ok? and then do a kickboxer on top?
any ideas?
you could also do black and white vertical stripes of different widths with fondant on the sides
how about duffygirl's idea with a pair of satin kickboxing shorts laid on top (red of course) This would be fairly easy with red fondant and lots of lustre dust! You could put the birthday girl/boy's name or whatever message you wanted across the waistband. Sounds like a fun cake! make sure you post a pic!

I don't think it would turn out black. if it were me, I'd bake the cake without adding any coloring to the batter.
Make the kickboxer a skeleton or something to keep the gothic theme within.
what about red velvet cake with white buttercream filling and some raspberry preserves? too much black is not always a good thing (even to a goth!!!)
