Question for Richard in Cincy

I am in Pennsylvania helping my best friend from college prepare cakes (and tarts) for her son's wedding receptions. We have baked about 20 items. We have one for which we would like an interesting-sounding name.

Can you give us the German for white cake with raspberry buttercream. FYI: it will be a heart-shaped white 2-layer cake.

This is by far the most boring name for the dessert display; I was hoping that we might be able to come up with something interesting in German. I liked the idea of a nice tongue-twisting German agglutinative noun. We asked the groom, a linguist who has studied German, but he hasn't been able to figure out the German for buttercream. The wedding is Saturday but this will be one of the desserts for the rehearsal dinner Friday evening (October 6). Sorry about the short notice.

Thanks, Tim

 
Not Richard, but a bit of help anyway. Raspberry is Himbeer.

White is Weiss. Kuchen for cake. Butter Creme would be butter cream. schlag sahne is whipped cream. I'll look up a German web site and post in a minute to help you more. My German is rusty, so some of the spellings above may need tweeking.
