Flavour wise. Im making a cake and need non choc flavour ideas for the cake decorations/icing etc... ... Can do coffee cake with coffee icing, but feel like it should be maybe something else?
Don't know how these would go with coffee cake but vanilla and lemon (not together) are quite nice flavours. Also you could try orange juice, lime juice or apple juice but I've never used them before so don't know what sort of effect they'll have with icing sugar so would make sure my icing had butter in it. (I've put up icing recipes before only to have people suggest you can make the same recipe without butter but IMO you get a totally different icing)

Perhaps you could trying using hazelnuts, abbey_magick. If you have already made the cake, you could use whipped cream sweetened to taste and flavoured with Frangelico as a filling and topping and decorate the cake with roughly chopped and toasted hazelnuts.

Well if you think what goes into special coffees there are loads of options. Peppermint, vanilla, irish cream/whiskey, orange, chilli, rum
