I have been asked to do a cranberry cake for a fall get-together. What fillings and icings would go well with this? I thought white chocolate would be good, but the hostess does not like white chocolate (and has no suggestions about what she DOES like, just that she wants cranberry something or other).
What else could work?
Has your hostess ever eaten cranberry cake? Ever seen it anywhere ever before?
I'm thinking that there's good reason we don't see cranberry as a sweets flavor (it's not sweet at all).
Maybe consider cranberry for the decoration instead.

The cake is actually good and sweet - I flavor it with a sweetened cranberry and raspberry puree, it has a nice light flavor. Usually I make this in a bundt cake form and just drizzle it with thin white icing, so I don't worry about fillings or any of that. I could do vanilla, but thought maybe someone had a better idea.
Ah. Didn't realize you'd dealt with the cranberry issue.
Hi. here is a recipe that I found,

You could also use cherry cranberry pie filling too. 
Yes......definitely orange. I make a cranberry/orange pecan cake with a cream cheese filling that's basically cream cheese icing with Grand Marnier and orange zest (finely grated) added to it. The 2 flavors really complement each other. I use fresh cranberries not the dried ones. They make great cupcakes too.
