Thanks daezar, any others that's not chocolate as I should have mentioned that I'm not a fan of chocolate. Now if it was caramel that would be yummy.

I always use lemon icing which has a little butter added to it. Then I sprinkle with coconut.

I love coffee icing on a banana cake, just dissolve around 1 tsp in a tiny amount of boiling water and add to your basic icing.
