Help!!?!!? Need Ideas For...

...a cake that I'm making tonight! My supervisor's father recently passed away, so my co-workers decided we should visit his house and bring him a cake, flowers, and a card. Any ideas on how I should decorate it? I don't plan on doing any writing on top, so should I just keep it simple? Chocolate frosting maybe? Would a colorful cake be inappropriate?
I would concentrate more on taste than decorations, so it doesn't have a "theme".
I'm making a cake tomorrow..that's chocolate with white chocolate buttercream for the filling. Then you melt chocolate, white chocolate, and dark chocolate and put 1-2 spoonfuls of each on top and mix them with the end of the skewer (to make a marble look) after it dries, you frost the sides with chopped toasted almonds.
I would do something similar in your situation.
I totally agree with EvilToxicDuck! Focus on taste!
Thanks for the ideas everyone. I went for flavor like ya'll said, so I made a golden vanilla (BC) cake using an extender recipe (filled two 8" pans and 6 cupcakes), filled it with vanilla pudding and iced with chocolate whipped icing I bought at Albertson's. Tastes pretty good 
It's 11:30 and I'm just now finishing up... I had to make Royal Icing and Color Flow for my Wilton class tomorrow night, so I did that first because I already de-greased everything last night!
