Robyn and I traded emails since I posted Straight outta …Ohio? about her favorite icing for the cake. Here is her response:
Actually, it occurred to me in high school that a Boone’s Strawberry Hill icing would be *the bomb* on this cake, but as a kid, I generally preferred a basic vanilla buttercream with the ultimate trailer-park-fancy decoration: silver dragees. However, I worked at a bakery later on during my Goth years, and once made this cake in the shape of a bat for Halloween, finishing it with an amazing chocolate frosting dyed black. Robert Smith would have been soooo proud.
