Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream -------------------------------- Rich chocolate flavor infused into the whipped meringue
Cream Cheese------------------------------------------------------- The classic cream cheese frosting, best for denser cakes
Whipped Cream Frosting --------------------------------------------- The lightest fluffiest buttercream- poor for cakes on display for long

Pairing Suggestions and Tips
Fillings are optional, and increase difficulty and cost. However, they do provide an opportunity for additional flavor and I love to include them in my cake pairings.
Formula for the perfect cake pairing:
Rich + Light + Rich (or the inverse)
But for more detail....
Simple Cake Flavor + Fun Flavored Filling + Simple flavored frosting
Fun Cake Flavor + Light Flavored Filling + Light Flavored Frosting
Some ideas:
Vanilla + A Fruit Mousse + Swiss Meringue
Vanilla + A Fruit Jam + American Buttercream
Chocolate + Raspberry Jam + Chocolate American Buttercream
Chocolate + Carmel or Ganache + Marscapone
Fruit or Citrus + White Chocolate Mousse + Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Fruit or Citrus + Matching Fruit Filling + Whipped Cream Frosting
