Ideas about cake flavors and fillings combos!!!

Ssanders06

I was wondering what are great cake flavor/filling combos. I am getting ready to have a cake tasting and I need ideas to tell my baker... Please Help!

She should have samples of cake and samples of filling for you to mix and match.

We had cupcakes and small cake to cut: poppy seed with lemon frosting (for the cake), chocolate with lavender frosting (sounds strange but it was so good), almond with raspberry frosting, and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. 

 

I hope this helps

We had dark choclate with raspberry ganache intersperse with champagne cake with strawberry jam.    In October we went to a wedding that had a spiced apple cake with a custard filling that was really good.

Ask your baker to provide you with their flavors up front, and make a selection from that list before your tasting.

We had 4 different flavor options at our tasting, all yellow cake with different centers: Mocha mousse, lemon curd with raspberries (I love the taste of lemon & raspberries together), passion fruit mousse and chocolate mousse. EVERYONE in the family had a different favorite, but we went with my fiance's favorite, passion fruit mousse. We got so many compliments on it!

We went with yellow cake because it's a bit richer than white cake due to the egg yolks in it, and I wanted a more traditional flavor.
