Wedding Cake Flavours

Hi ladies,

I would love to hear your recommendations on wedding cake flavours. I'm struggling to decide what flavours to have for our wedding.

My mom and I will be making the cake and desserts ourselves since we have a small baking business (however, never done a wedding cake before) but I'm unsure of what flavours to go for. I know not everyone likes to eat cake, but I want to at least have a flavour the majority of the people will eat. My fiance has no idea what flavour he wants, but does not like fruits in cakes so that's out of the question.

We are also going to have a dessert table so would you recommend making less cake (I'm considering two tier cake rather than three), I don't want to have a lot of leftovers and then no one is taking any home.


Any suggestions would help.

    I used to make cakes for charity coffee mornings, and on the basis of what sold out fastest/had least left over, the top two flavours were always lemon and chocolate. Vanilla seemed next most popular, and then fruit cake/coffee/ginger.

    Hi, thanks for the response and recommendations. Definitely been thinking about chocolate and vanilla. Might have to go with the basics.

    Hi, these sound lovely and delicious!!! I was thinking if I should be ordering a sample box too but if I’m making it myself idk if it’s worth it.

    Make your own little box! I didn’t know we were getting one until my cake lady text me the other day! I thought we just picked our flavors and that was that so we are excited to try!

    I love biscoff but my fiancé is not a big fan of it. Lemon seems to be popular among people too and it’s good for the summer, might have to consider it. Thanks for getting back to me with feedback!

    A lot of people I know don’t like it either but a lot of people I know do! It can be very sickening I guess! No problem at all! X

    We have gone with a lemon tier and a coconut tier, I can’t remember the filling flavours. Its a summer wedding so we wanted light cakes and flavours.

    That is a very good idea!!!! Might need to look into the flavours and make some cakes to taste in advance. Thanks!

    Sample boxes are a great way to taste many flavours!


    We went for strawberry and champagne, lemon and biscoff! All our faves :-)

    How amazing that you and your mom are making the cake yourselves! Since your fiance is not into fruit cakes I’d suggest classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, red velvet or even a coffee or salted caramel option.
