Too many cake flavors and filling choices to decide on

AlexisA01 · March 2014

The fact that I LOVE majority of them makes everything too difficult. What are some of your choices you had for your cake?

Sugargirl1019 · March 2014

I have my cake tasting tomorrow! I want rum cake. Can they do that? Haha.

AlexisA01 · March 2014

@Sugargirl1019 I think they can do anything. Rum cake would be really amazing for your wedding. I love Bananas and My FI said to give us options with that and 3 bakers we looked have given us a variety of Banana type wedding cakes.

Sugargirl1019 · March 2014

Ohh I love banana nut cake... Screw allergies..

Sugargirl1019 · March 2014

Are you doing fondant or buttercream?

AlexisA01 · March 2014

I prefer whipped icing. I told them to surprise me for ideas

I baked our wedding cake, so we could pretty much do anything. Fortunately, I came up with an idea early on and we stuck with it (blackberry lime). It helped that my DH doesn't really like chocolate.

Have fun!! We did buttercream.... bottom tier will be red velvet, middle and top tiers will be "strawberry banana ritz" - alternating layers of strawberry mousse with fresh cut strawberries and banana mousse. Sooooo good!

AlexisA01 · March 2014

@Jamone99 That sounds delicious. I have a random maybe corny question. Is there any wedding cake etiquette to know about?

Jamone99 · March 2014

Wedding cake etiquette.... I honestly haven't heard that one before. I don't know, but I'm curious if someone responds otherwise!

Sugargirl1019 · March 2014

Besides don't do nuts in the cake if you know about someone's allergies.. ? I don't know! I think I will alternate layers. Rum cake and something else. Buttercream for me, I hate fondant. I peeled it off the last cake I ate.

AlexisA01 · March 2014

I know I can't please everyone with the flavor, I just do not want someone to complain about my flavors etc.

We had soooo many options for our tasting!

The ones I remember are...

Devil's food/chocolate ganache

Vanilla/vanilla

Vanilla/fresh strawberries and champagne

Lemon/vanilla (I think)

Orange/dark chocolate ganache

Red velvet/cream cheese

Banana/chocolate

Apple spice/sweetened goat cheese (similar to cream cheese, but better!)

We ended up picking the apple spice/goat cheese. FI is usually a vanilla/vanilla guy, but this one won him over! It was like a slightly sweeter spice cake, and the icing was to die for!

We decided on apple and cinnamon with swiss buttercream, black forest cake layered with cherries and swiss buttercream, and tiramisu cake topped with kahlua buttercream and dark chocolate shavings.

I was certain before tasting that pumpkin cake or carrot cake was going to be an option, but the apple and cinnamon was so good. I think it will be a great crowd pleaser since black forest and tiramisu are a bit out there.

And they also both have liquor. Good to have a non-alcoholic cake.

Sugargirl1019 · March 2014

Oh I want tiramisu too! Dangit.

AlexisA01 · March 2014

Apple and cinnamon sounds very delicious.

jdluvr06 · March 2014

We didn't try any of the fancy fillings or anything. We want a traditional white cake with cream cheese frosting.

AddieCake · March 2014

We did cupcakes and had lemon, strawberry and amaretto almond. The amaretto was the favorite.

mysticl · March 2014

Our cake was Godiva chocolate.

smgold6 · March 2014

We're having every tier a different flavor: german chocolate, strawberry, orange (tastes like dreamsicle) and spice cake all with buttercream icing. Yum!!

AlexisA01 · March 2014

All those sound so yummy.

KytchynWitche · March 2014

We didn't have choices for the cake, because we know we want hummingbird cake. I'm playing around with different frosting options, but we'll probably go for a brown-butter buttercream, because I have a feeling that the other options are going to be a pain in the butt to make.

jenniferurs · March 2014

The answer is always red velvet.

LadyMillil · March 2014

I'm making our wedding cupcakes. We are having chocolate with peanut butter frosting, caramel cupcake with chocolate buttercream and sea salt, and vanilla with raspberry buttercream.
