Hi everyone.. I hope you can help! I need to make a black and gold graduation cake this weekend with chocolate frosting. Any ideas? I had several ideas in mind with white fondant.. but she requested chocolate buttercream, which sort of threw me for a loop.

Thanks icon_smile.gif

What about..... chocolate buttercream frosting and then on top (I'm being really simple here) the black mortarboard with gold tassle. Then the 'congrats' on it written in gold.

Here is a black and gold, but not sure about the chocolate buttercream. What if you filled the cake layers w/ Chocolate buttercream, but iced the cake in white?

Black icing is always best made with chocolate buttercream anyway-just color it black and let it be your background. I LOVE MommyEdzards cake btw!!

I forgot to clarify, that I did not make this cake. It is beautiful though, huh? Just one of the many in my file of favorites from either here or somewhere else on the net. icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks for the input! I was actually planning to model my cake after this one until I got the request for the chocolate bc! She has requested a kahlua filling, so unfortunately I'm stuck with the chocolate frosting. That's a great idea to turn the background black. Then maybe I can put gold stars or streamers.. or even the school logo. Thanks again for the ideas thumbs_up.gif
