-- Wedding Cake Flavors --

What does your wedding cake say about you? Are you an elegant bride; a classically traditional bride; or a totally unique bride? Wedding cakes aren’t all about looks – just like grooms, it’s what’s on the inside that really counts! Not sure? Here are some great ideas to get you started! While some bakeries offer a set list of possibilities, others will allow you to come up with your own unique creations!

Classic Cake Flavors

Traditionally, wedding cakes were all white – inside and out! What did that mean? Vanilla, vanilla, and more vanilla! There’s a lovely aspect of tradition in choosing to serve a white wedding cake; and you can always make it a little more unique by including a different flavor of filling. These days, brides are opting for chocolate, and white chocolate; which are the new “classics.”

Unique Wedding Cake Flavors

Prefer to serve up something that will have guests talking? Fudgy chocolate, marble, and red velvet are all fabulous spins on traditional flavors. Add flavors like coffee, orange, spices, or raspberry for a unique flavor. Make your cake unique by mixing and matching cake and filling flavors. For example, a chocolate cake with orange filling is unexpected but absolutely delicious!

Spring and Summer Cake Flavors

There’s something about the warmer months that makes people crave light, fresh flavors. Look for citrus tastes like zingy lemon, lime, and orange. Lemon poppyseed cake with mango filling is a delicious twist on typical wedding flavors.

Winter Wedding Cake Flavors

Choose richer flavors in the winter months – fillings like mocha, chai, Bailey’s Irish Crème, chocolate mint or white chocolate are all so yummy! Extra toppings like dark chocolate ganache, strawberries, or even crushed candy cane will make your cake taste as amazing as it will look!

Fall Wedding Cake Flavors

In the fall, we all crave something that will keep us warm as the weather turns cool. Spicy flavors are perfect for an autumn celebration: spice cake, cream cheese icing, caramel, carrot cake, pumpkin and apple are all perfect flavors to add to your cake. Choose various flavors, fillings (most fillings can be added as a mousse or a buttercream filling), and toppings to make the fall season’s rich flavors come to life in your wedding cake!

How to Choose Your Wedding Cake Flavor

Choosing a flavor can be a bit daunting: you like chocolate; he likes pineapple. Head to your bakery with an open mind, and be willing to try new things. Work with your overall theme to choose a flavor; you might want the cake to be a certain color, which could affect your flavor selection. For example, if your heart is set on a blue wedding cake; you might consider having a blueberry flavor to make sure that the cake’s style matches its flavor. You also want to remember that you are not the only one who will be eating this cake – your guests will each be having a slice! This means it might be a good idea to choose something that is universally pleasing which might explain why vanilla was so popular in the first place!
