What is your....
WEDDING CAKE FLAVOR(S)!?
We just had our tasing last week and decided on our flavors! She gave us a sample of: chocolate, vanilla, marble, carrot, banana, and red velvet. She had different kinds of mouses and filling for us to try with then and some had vanilla butter cream, other had cream cheese frosting.
We were completely blown away by the banana cake! FI and I agreed it was our favorite of all of them and we HAD to have it! We are going to need 4 layers so we decided to get the largest and the top just plain Banana with the vanilla butercream and the other two layers we chose vanilla with a layer of raspberry filling in it just in case we had people that weren't fans of banana, but so far everyone has said how they would love banana and what a cool, unexpected choice for our wedding cake!
Just curious what everyone else is doing for their cake flavor!

We have a 4-tiered cake and the bottom three will be vanilla with raspberry filling and buttercream frosting. The top tier will be the same except no raspberry filling.
June 2012 May Siggy Challenge: The invitations
We're doing "combination cake" which is alternating layers of chocolate and vanilla with raspberry jam for the bottom tier, the middle tier will be spice cake with apple jam, and the top tier will either be a repeat of the bottom tier, or we'll see if we can get a buttercream flavored like canolli filling
Just talking about it is making me crave that cake....4 more months! Phew!

[QUOTE]<strong>We are having a three tier cake with each tier being a different flavor. We only have two picked out right now which are dreamsicle and amaretto.</strong> Posted by Pixieliddle23[/QUOTE]
I'm having a 3 tier cake too and those are 2 of the flavors that we picked as well!!! The other layer is going to be marble (yellow and chocolate).

as a surprise for the FI, I'm also having a groom's cake made in the shape of his accordion. I'm so excited! I told the baker to make it a chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse filling. I found a recipe for peanut butter mousse that is SUPER easy. and gave it to her to use. I can't wait for the look on his face when he sees the cake! he's going to be amazed. Funny part is that when I placed our original cake order, I booked it for 200 people. the Grooms cake was going to be an extra cake that we could eat the next day at his parents' house. Now that our list has jumped to 250, we may actually end up using all the cake, so that makes me happy! I ordered extra and didn't think we'd need it, and now we do, but I don't have to pay more!

This sounds so good and is really similar to we are thinking. We are planning on doing a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, chocolate cake with chocolate mouse filling, and vanilla with lemon. I really should call my uncle (our baker) and figure it out.
Layer 1: Red Velvet with Cream Cheese frosting
Layer 2: white with white frosting
Layer 3 (top): same as bottom
Cupcakes:
Chocolate with white frosting
Red Velvet with Cream Cheese frosting
White with white frosting

mmmm!! I cannot wait for our cake! It's amazing! Other than being married (of course), I think the cake is my favorite thing about the wedding (taste and design-wise)! Haha.

I tried to get my fiancé to do a rice krispie "cake", but he said no. He doesn't really eat cake and I was going to get a kitchen cake made so I don't see why he wouldn't budge. Oh well....
Op-that banana cake sounds good, but sadly I can't eat bananas. :(
We haven't decided yet. :/
