Suggestion On Cake And Buttercream Flavors

Hi,
I am planning to bake a cake for a friend’s daughter’s birthday and want to decorate it like unicorn.
I feel unicorn decorations look good when the cake is covered with white frosting. And I do not want to bake a simple vanilla cake.
Do you all have any suggestions on what cake and frosting flavors go well together, given I prefer the frosting to be white.
(I wanted to bake a chocolate cake, but I am not sure what type of white frosting goes well with a chocolate cake).
PS: I am new to cakes and any help is really appreciated. thanks in advance.
You can use any kind of white frosting with chocolate cake, in fact, it helps to lighten it up a bit. It will be necessary to use a good amount of frosting, though, so the dark cake will not show through the white frosting.
I hit submit too quickly. You could also make a black unicorn using chocolate frosting with black color added. I've seen several with a gold horn and colorful mane. Beautiful.
A basic buttercream goes wonderfully with chocolate cake. You could also do a fudgey ganache filling but then use a white buttercream for the outside if you wanted to pump up the chocolate flavor. I also love Sandra's idea of making a black unicorn with chocolate frosting. The colors in the mane will really pop!
