Which frosting to use?? opinions!

Question

im making a chocolate cake and i have chocolate frosting and vanilla frosting. i know chocolate compliments chocolate but i'm wondering if the vanilla would be better in ur opinion...

Answer 1

You should definitely use vanilla because you don't want to overwhelm the cake by using double chocolate.  

Answer 2

With chocolate cake, I'd go with chocolate frosting. Wilton makes a good chocolate frosting. You can get it as Michael's craft store. It's delicious. I tried it when I took a cake decorating class.

Answer 3

definitely vanilla! i love chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.

i make it all the time!

chocolate cake with cherry frosting is also really good.

Answer 4

As long as the chocolates match (not dark with milk chocolate), then I like chocolate:) ... But vanilla is good too.  In fact, sweetened whipped cream with sliced strawberries between the layers would also be good.......

Answer 5

TOTALLY and COMPLETELY CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

i would go for chocolate as it is a chocolate cake. if the cake has some vanilla in you could add 2 drops to the icing so it compiments the cake. i would go with choc. grate a little choclate on top to finish it off.

You gotta go with chocolate!

Answer 11

I've done this before, it makes an awesome cake. Make little chocolate and vanilla "sections" so every cake would go chocolate, vanilla, chocolate, vanilla... Or maybe just half and half. If you just want one I would go with vanilla because to much chocolate can get a little to sweet.  

Answer 12

You can't go wrong with chocolate and chocolate. You can go wrong with chocolate and vanilla. Yuck.
