Flavors that kinda work with each other like:





Chocolate Fudge Sauce - Like you use for ice cream sundaes (you can either mix with the buttercream or put buttercream down and then a coating of fudge sauce over it.





Raspberry Cream - blend some fresh raspberries with buttercream.





Strawberry Cream - blend some fresh strawberries with buttercream





Or anything else you think goes together just mix with your buttercream - peanut butter, fruit, butterscotch sauce, canned pineapple, or you can use those ready made pudding cups and just fill you cake with those and no buttercream.





Good luck - you might want to put a wooden dowel thru the center of that cake if you weren't planning on it - it's really tall. You can get them in craft supply stores.|||blueberry or apple pie filling works best
