A good friend of mine asked me to make her a small cake for her wedding reception. they are having cupcakes for everyone but wanted something to cut. She wants a chocolate cake with kahlua cream cheese filling and white buttercream icing. To me, it does not sound too tasty. just not a good combo. it might be who knows! LOL! She said that she wants a white icing so that her florist can decorate it with her flowers. so now i am racking my brain to think of what kind of cake I can make and use the white icing. Any suggestions of something really really good? I want it to be perfect for them. she loves the chocolate cake i made her for her engagement party so how can i duplicate something along those lines with white icing?

Thanks!

I've frosted chocolate cakes with white icing a million times.......it looks no different than a white cake or yellow cake

Yeah just use buttercream icing with no butter so it is white and use the butter flavoring from Wilton.. I just did that for a cake and it was fine!

Kahlua and chocolate, yum. You have to like the coffee flavorings, which I do, lol.

Chocolate cake will work and everyone seems to like chocolate. You could also go with a banana or yellow with orange flavorings and zest (orange and coffee/chocolate work really well together) or better yet, just to send it over the edge, a butter pecan cake.

Good luck!!!

I don't know about the kahlua cream cheese filling, why not make a small batch and taste test it? Asd for the chocolate cake with white buttercream, you could add a tiny bit of kahlua and see if it turns the icing brown...might be more of an off-white - but either way, I've frosted tons of chocolate cakes with vanilla icing. icon_smile.gif
