I picked my cake flavors, but I had to do it without the benefit of a cake tasting. One layer is red velvet and cream cheese. We would also like a strawberry shortcake type layer, so we picked vanilla cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. However, I'm concerned about the whipped cream spoiling if it sits out for too long. They suggested using Bavarian cream instead of the whipped cream, but it also can't sit out for too long. Another option is to just use the vanilla buttercream instead which apparently can last a long time. We are getting married in 11 days (!), and it will be pretty hot outside, although it should be cool inside.
If you have tried these flavors/creams, please let me know your thoughts on the their taste. I don't want the cake spoiling, but I want to make sure that it tastes great. Thanks!
