Wedding Cake Flavours

Hi, we are having a chocolate cake with orange liqueur in so it is like a chocolate orange! Gorgeous

That souuuunds yummy....mayb il swap the strawberry for that....hmmm

I love Chocolate Orange so I'd be aaaall over that!

Your suggestions sound delish.

That might not be such a bad idea as am sure there will be people wanting the traditional wedding cake i have never tried a wedding cake so don't know what it tastes like

I never got the fascination with red velvet cupcakes its just cake with added red E numbers

Another vote for choc orange here

Lemon and raspberry

apple and cinammon

Carrot cake

Never had a red velvet cake liked i only tried it 2x n hated it both times i just tot it will look nice coz of d color n a lot of the guest like red velvet but I may just switch to choc n orange, whice choc n raspberry, a traditional cake but still need a flavour for the bigger top tier cake

We're having three layers: traditional fruit cake on the bottom, carrot cake with cream cheese filling in the middle, and lemon cake with a lemon curd filling on top. Yum, I feel hungry now!

Hi All,

What do your cakes look like on the outside - are they sort of traditional white icing, but with yummy flavours inside?

I've been thinking I'll have to opt for the traditional wedding fruit cake - until I seen this thread!

I haven't seen our cake maker yet, but will be soon and would like to go with them with at least a few ideas / suggestions if possible.

Otherwise I fear they will just sell me the easiest option (i.e. fruit cake!)

Hi august-bride-2013 - yep, mine have the traditional icing on the outside (in cream rather than white, but still the same idea). Definnitely go with some ideas...and be sure to ask for samples, that's the best bit!

Oooh lovely.

I guess I keep envisaging the icing tasting a certain way that will only go with fruit cake or something!

I hate icing so haven't tried any in years :-)

You could go for non-iced of course: http://www.choccywoccydoodah.com/products/towering-rococco-tiers !!

I don't like sweet stuff or cake so we had a three tier pork pie! Nip to a wedding fayre for samples or see if local cake places will do a tasting session, I think some will do them if you book in

I was thinking traditional icing on the outside but fancy decos and then a suprised yummy flavour inside i am not into fruit cakes as hate sultanas, raisins etc

Champagne n strawberry ooooh yum never ever thought of that but sooo want a boozy 1 making me sooo hungry now

This is what ours looks like

We are having boring flavours: Vanilla teir and lemon 2 tier.

I like the sound of strawberry! Compared to mine, it doesn't sound plain lol.

We're having 3 tiers of rich fruit. The bakery lady was a bit "er, oh, um, that's traditional". Yep, we both love fruit cake and it's our flipping wedding so that's what we want and sod any fussy people that don't like it!

We are having the choc orange but will also have a 'cutting cake' which is a traditional fruit cake which will be offered to guests

Pork pie cake!! wow you must have gotten full from a single bite loool
