and I'm thinking I want to make it some flavor to go on the yellow cake.
(appearance doesn't really matter since it's getting covered in fondant)
I was thinking of making it raspberry, but open to other suggestions. The other tier is chocolate with mocha frosting.
So, if I do the raspberry, what do I do?? Add seedless jam? I've never done it before...the icings are in the fridge until tomorrow. Do I just add it and whip? Help?
Also, what about other flavors? Suggestions?
Thanks!!
What recipe did you use?
You can always add a layer of jam, and then put buttercream on top. That's another idea.
Oreo cookies may be fun too. You can mix a lot of things into buttercream.
In my opinion, the easiest way to get a flavor in your icing is to use extracts. There's a bunch of different ones. I like using the coconut and strawberry. Just be sure you know whether or not they're clear. It makes a difference in the end.

I used one that someone posted for me in another thread. Basic buttercream, but with real butter, no crisco.
McCormick's makes a clear raspberry extract.........I've used it a ton for luster dusts, raspberry white chocolate cake (yummy) and also mixed in with some white chocolate to cover petit fours........I love the raspberry extract and I think it sounds like it would be wonderful with the chocolate and mocha........yummy yummy
you can use the LoRann's oils too. you can get those at the local pharmacy or in the cake/candy section of the store. Just remember, a little goes a LONG way.
You could use a really good seddless or strained jam and add a liquer, I have used rasberry liquer, but amaretto is really good also.
That would be fine. The reason I asked about the recipe is that some other buttercream, like IMBC, aren't as easy to add random things to.
I like Euphria's idea of the liqueur and the jam. The jam would be good by itself too.
