Answer 2

Fresh fruit always looks really nice on top of cakes especially chocolate ones like yours and meringues. For this type of cake I would suggest using strawberries and/or kiwi fruit. Layer your fruit on top of the cake working your way towards the centre. Cut kiwi fruit thinly and in full circles. This tends to work best although i know a few people who substitute the kiwis for mangoes (tinned or fresh it doesn't particularly matter). Sprinkle over fruit a crushed up (done with hands) Cad bury Flake. Enjoy your cake and i hope this helps =)

Buttercream frosting: use a half cup of Crisco and stir in two cups of powdered sugar and a tablespoonful of powdered cocoa. Spread that on your cake and then put a layer of cherry pie filling on top of the frosting. Sprinkle a teaspoon of grated orange rind evenly over the top of all of that. Slice 'n serve.
