Trying Out a New Flavor Cake - What Frosting & Garnish Suggestions?

[heat123]

This is a new flavor for me.. anyone have any suggestion what frosting to serve it with (it shows white) I have cream cheese (MY fave) or how to make a wow factor cake? Need to make it for a family dinner party. I have marchiaro cherries I think.. should I add that to the frosting as garnish??? Has anyone ever eaten this flavor before? It's white with red chips in it... Betty crocker I think?

I would think a Vanilla or Cream Cheese would be perfectly fine. And it would probably be pretty if you put a cherry or two in the center/top. (I'm envisioning a round cake on our pedestal. )I've not had the flavor before...closest I've had is Strawberry. (which was surprisingly good). Good luck!

Or melted choc somehow swirled on the frosting ? or choc chips added to it ??? IDK, just trying to be creative.

I say make a vanilla frosting and add the chopped cherries to it, use the juice to give it a pretty pink color

My favorite cake as a child - always requested it for my birthday, and my husbands favorite to this day.

We both agree, the perfect frosting for a Cherry Chip Cake is Marshmallow Frosting (or 7 minute frosting...whatever you call it...it's a cooked frosting that you mix with electric beaters.)

Becky, that sounds delicious! Do you have a recipe for the marshmallow frosting?

Thanks ladies. I think I will use my fave cream cheese frosting.. garnish it with cherries and chocolate ganash swirls. Hope it's tastey!

Watch out using the juice from a bottle of maraschino cherries. I have a friend who every year makes a white frosting and using maraschino cherry juice as the liquid. And every year the frosting slides off the cake onto the serving plate.

Just be careful.

I have been wanting to make a cherry chip cake or cupcakes with a home made butter cream frosting. All these other frostings sound really good too.

I use chocolate buttercream and decorate with chocolate dipped maraschino cherries (make sure they are dry)

I thought about choc. frosting too? Choc. and cherry combo sounds kinda good.

Ps. I didn't get to make the cake that night... some1 else made dessert. So I will have to wait to find out what this Cherry chip is all about another time!

Also, I do chopped up Almonds in the frosting or just chop up a large chocolate Hershey bar with Almonds and fold that into the cream cheese frosting, yum yum!!
