Though, I did see a thin black vine-like pattern on a white buttercream cake that looked really pretty and thus would have a lot less black icing on it... Perhaps just having a black ribbon around the bottom of the tiers would incorporate the black without turning everyone's mouths black...?? Any ideas?

I think the black ribbon would be nice- and then no black mouths to worry about.
As for fondant, I have a recipe for marshmallow fondant that I make. It looks just like regular fondant but tastes much better- plus I can flavor it with different things. My favorite is a cherry almond cake that I ice with almond-flavored whipped cream and then top with the almond-marshmallow fondant. Yummy.
