Hi guys, i <3 this site. Its been such a help and inspiration.
And now I need just a wee bit more help on this one.

Order: 13 differently flavored cakes.
Problem: Frosting needs to be either buttercream or choc.buttercream.

o.O

the buttercream can be flavored but the consistancy and color needs to remain ivory/white and chocolate.

I've got a few, written down...but i think they are in my car. I know I know...strange place right?! haha

Thanks
Nikki

Thats the thing, I dunno the flavors for the cakes. Thats what I need.

haha im gettin there I"ve got some. But the cakes have to have a BC frosting....be it regular or chocolate BC.

so like a carrot cake...doesnt work very well with a BC frosting.

You may want to look at this site. They also have a Cake Mix Doctor cookbook which, IMHO, is well worth the money. The paperback version is only about $15, available in most bookstores.

You could try chocolate, french vanilla, lemon, orange/dreamsicle, butter, peanutbutter, cherry chip, caramel, red velvet, fudge, white-choclate, pound, lemon-lime, banana & marble. You could then add flavoring to your buttercream to fit the cake flavor. I know the Loranne oils have lots of flavors that add no color to your b/c or if it's a slight too ivory you can add americolors bright white I think it is.
