I'm a cake baker and can't decide on my own cake flavors! lol

This is what I'm considering...today anyway, it could change tomorrow...

bottom tier...white chocolate cake with alternating layers of raspberry preserves and dark chocolate chambord ganache

Middle tier...spice cake with cream cheese and fig preserves OR apple spice cake with salted caramel buttercream

top tier... chocolate chip cake with Khalua mousse filling

What is everyone else doing?

    We had cupcakes in flavors of lemon, strawberry, and amaretto. 

    I vote the apple spice w/salted caramel buttercream for the middle if you're wondering. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    I think you should eliminate the ganache from the bottom tier.  That tier is the biggest, so I would try to make it appealing to more people.  Ganache is very rich, and doesn't appeal to a wider # of people. 

    The middle sounds awesome, but I had the same flavors for my top tier, so I'm probably a bit biased.

    The spice cake with fig preserves and cream cheese frosting sounds amazeballs to me. I'd like a piece. Two actually. Now please?

    It sounds amazing, I would eat any of those flavors, but I agree that one layer should be a bit "plainer" do that people who aren't as adventorous have something familiar to eat.

    I am sure all of those cakes would be great but I prefer a simple/plain cake, meaning give me a good piece of white cake or chocolate cake with a good buttercream frosting and I am one happy camper.

    I would do a simple tier for those like me and then have some more interesting flavors for the other tiers.

    I WANT ALL OF THE FOODS.

    Just kidding. But the lemon cake sounds great, and I think it's a pretty popular choice. Old-fashioned chocolate would probably be a big crowd-pleaser too. I know my grandfather wouldn't eat any cake unless it was some sort of plain chocolate cake like the one above.

    Question - are you cutting in to the top layer or saving it for your first anniversary? If saving, consider which freezes the best and what flavor you and FI prefer.

    The two bottom layers sound the best to me. I would probably prefer the apple spice.

    That all sounds wonderful to me. I baked our wedding cake. The bottom tier was a chocolate truffle torte, middle tier was orange-almond sponge cake with Grand Marnier-orange blossom Italian meringue buttercream. Top tier was buttermilk spice cake with the same buttercream. Whole thing was covered in homemade orange blossom fondant.

    This is what our cake is going to look like. The black will be in Olive Green. We are sticking with just plain flavors like chocolate and vanilla but we will also have carrot cake ones since that is me and my FI's favorite flavor. We have discussed have a couple small round cakes as well in other flavors but not sure yet. I say go with one tier a universal flavor that most people would like.
