I'm thinking of using sugarpaste and buttercream on a normal chocolate
cake to create some sort of fanciful design taken from a party cake
book for valentine's day. However, the recipent of the cake likes
tiramisu alot. I was wondering if I could combine the two? As tiramisu
has cream on the sides, could it be used to stick the sugar paste
instead of buttercream?

Doesn't sound likely. Tiramisu is more like a mousse than a cream,
and I can't see it moulding very well.

(At least not with the Tiramisu recipe I use.)
