My grandparents 65th Wedding Anniversary is at the end of the month...anyone have any ideas for decorating?

They want a Chocolate Velvet cake...the frosting for this is very fragile and does not pipe well...I'm thinking of two tiered square cakes, one on top the other...

I was looking through some wedding cakes on some links I have and found this...I think it would be beautiful when cut, with the red layer cake, white filling and red rose petals. I was also thinking about making a "65" with Royal icing...what do you all think?

Anyone have a recipe for Texas sheet cake? my mom got the recipe from an evangelists wife many years ago and used to make it a lot when I was young but does not know where it is now. (81 soon and lots of memory problems)
It was made in a low pan, almost brownie like.
would love it if anyone can help out

Here ya go! Is this the one you wanted? Go it from cooks.com
TEXAS SHEET CAKE
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 cubes butter
1 c. water
1/4 c. cocoa
1/2 c. sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. vanilla and mix together.
Pour in cookie sheet with sides (jelly roll pan). Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
HINTS: Any kind of cocoa or chocolate drink mix will work for the cocoa, depending how light or dark you want it. I've found my favorite to be Hershey's European process chocolate. Yogurt, or, I think, buttermilk, can be substituted for the sour cream. If you don't want the icing, you can just sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Quick, easy, delicious, great for a crowd.

ICING FOR TEXAS SHEET CAKE:
1/4 c. cocoa (more or less to taste)
1/2 c. milk (start with slightly less)
1 cube butter
Cook these three ingredients together until bubbly. Add:
4 c. powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp. vanilla
Nuts may be added, makes it very fudgy and yummy
Pour frosting on hot cake when it comes from oven. Frosting may run over sides.

I would assume a cube of butter is a tablespoon. Anyone know for sure? My Memaw Polly always used the "butter the size of a walnut" which I KNOW is a tablespoon! LOL
