What flavours are everyone having for their wedding cake? I was planning to have fruit at the bottom, then victoria sponge then lemon on the top however we went to a wedding fayre on sunday and had a taster of chocolate torte with a wite chocolate cream in the middle which was amazing and a fruit and rum which was really moist and sticky with a nice rum kick! I hate fruit cake but feel you have to have it as its tradition.
- CommentAuthorsam73
We are having a fruit bottom- as it's tradition and te oter 2 tires will be sponge one choc and one vanilla my h2b is allergic to nuts so can't have marzipan or anything on it
- CommentAuthorxxhan87xx

Htbs dad told me I have to have it but as my mums buying it I'll be having what me and htb want not his dad :-) don't feel like you should have it just because it's tradition XX

We are having fruit at the bottom
sponge cake in the middle
lemon on the top.

We were keen to have chocolate as a tier but the cake maker insists that the icing would not cover the chocolate without it being a mega thick layer of icing.
We're not too bothered - we're having the design we love! x

Gotta be pink!!! :0)
I think I blinked and missed our wedding!! lol
- CommentAuthorKarlie1976

We're having chocolate bottom layer, lemon middle layer and victoria sponge with fresh strawberry buttercream on top :)
- CommentAuthorJill
undecided if we're having a traditional style cake but if we do it'll be carrot cake and choc fudge - purely because I love them. If not traditional then cheesecake (dessert cheesecake).

My OH would like the croquenbouche (of that's how you spell it) but it's not particularly nice to look at is it? x

- CommentAuthorpanther_87k
probably having three tiers all victoria sponge with white choc frosting, then two dark choc lovespoons on top with milk choc hearts wrapped in gold foil dotted around each layer
- CommentAuthorHunny Bunny
i didnt know what red velvet was either it just looked and tasted good, but here is the info...

A Red Velvet Cake is very dramatic looking with its bright red color that is offset by a creamy white frosting. There are many theories as to its origin. Some say it comes from the South, others say it originated in the North. All we really know is that it has been a favorite for decades, not only in the States but also in Canada (it used to be sold in Eaton's Department Stores). It is really a Devil's Food Cake that has red food coloring added to it. John Mariani tells us in his book "The Dictionary of American Food and Drink" that the name 'Devil's Food Cake' is so called "because it is supposedly so rich and delicious that it must, to a moralist, be somewhat sinful."
Mmm red velvet

I'm resurrecting this thread from the depths of last month!
My sister is making our cake and we've just spent the weekend with her, so had a chat about flavours.
We've decided that we'll have a dark chocolate orange fudge cake on the bottom (10"), a lemon in the middle (8") and the fruit (not to serve, but to keep for either 1st born or 1st anniversary - whichever comes first!) (6") for the top. I was worried about the weight but apparently you can put stabalisers in to stop it crushing the tiers below.

Vegas baby!

- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I'm making our wedding cake with my mum and chief bridesmaid. It's going to be four square tiers (6,8,10,12, I think) and the flavours will be dark chocolate mud cake, white chocolate and lemon mud cake, fruit cake and carrot cake, but I'm not sure which one will be which.

We're also having a BYO Cupcake table and asking my favourite friends to bring a few cupcakes with them to add to it. It should be fun.

We are having quite a simple cake in many ways. Plain soft sponge, creamed butter sugar filling with jam (if that makes sense, am sure there is a name for that but for the life of me it escapes me everytime). Not 100% sure how many tiers yet but we do know it is going to be nice and 'bright' with the overall look lol.

Oh and an absolute mass of cupcakes for everyone to scoff :o).
- CommentAuthorMrs fairytale
4 tier

first - belgum chocolate sponge split and filled with chocolate butter cream
second - chocolate & vanilla marble split and filled with vanilla butter cream
third - victoria sponge split and filled with vanilla butter cream & strawberry jam
fourth - lemon sponge split and filled with lemon butter cream (that 1 isnt getting cut as taking home)

we are also having a plain iced fruit cake to be cut up in case any guests want fruit, as i cant stand it so hence its not in the wedding cake xx

cant wait to renew my vows, love my hubby sssssooooo much xx
- CommentAuthortwirler
in Florida we had 3 tiers all same flavour white choc chip sponge cherry filling with a peppermint fondue icing

in UK we had 4 tiers made of different cheeses yummy

Officially Mrs Joseph
back on the diet re set my target
- CommentAuthorNishaVyas88
oooh, you guys are making me jealous!

I wanted chocolate and raspberry, but due to budgetary restraints (i.e. we've spent far too much on everything else!) we're getting premade cakes from M&S. We're getting chocolate so that's halfway there. I'll just sneak into a corner and stuff my face with raspberries simultaneously. Hehe.
- CommentAuthorjanetx71
we are having 3 tier bottom fruit and top two vanilla sponge all very standard lol but i console myself with the fact that i probably wont eat any of it anyway xx
- CommentAuthorRingo
I want a lemon flavoured cake for mine! = ) xxx
- CommentAuthorLiz3yy
We haven't decided yet but we like the thought of a white chocolate sponge cake. We're having a small wedding so will only need 2 tiers

Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)
- CommentAuthormartay (marie)
ive done away with tradition and sacked fruit.

we are having chocolate sponge and vanilla sponge. i just cant make my mind up as to which order.

originally wanted the choc sponge as top tier as there is more chance of it getting eaten afterwards (wedding diet - GONE) but as im doubling up my biggest tier as a dessert, im sure the choc would be more popular!!!! refuse to pay £36.00 for a bloody gateau!

all ive got to give to you are these 5 words tonight
Thank you for loving me, for being my eyes when i couldnt
see. for parting my lips when i couldnt breathe
thank you for loving me xxx

We are having fruit on the bottom, middle lemon, top chocolate and a victoria sponge slab......so hopefully we should please everyone :-) x
- CommentAuthorClairebear67
Oh my so many choices, no idea what we are having yet as to far away but chocolate crops up each time we talk about the cake, one of the layers will be, we will not be keeping a tier back as not having anymore children .
love the idea of having different flavours in each tier though. : ) x
- CommentAuthorMrsC.Wade2B
The cake my h2b has chosen is 6 tiers lol (pic in albums) he dont want fruit cos says the brandy spoils it, dont want choc and cant decide on any other flavour?! lol x

- CommentAuthorKath2010
Thought I would bring this thread back up and see what you ladies are having for your wedding cake.

I'm thinking lemon, marble cake.....then i don't know!

I can think of plenty of cakes, that will be featuring in my cake buffet but not many that would taste good with icing on them.
- CommentAuthorTinsel
We get to choose from the following cake flavours...

Vanilla Sponge
A light sponge, enhanced with Madagascan Vanilla Bean extract. Filled with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam

Chocolate Sponge
Light chocolate sponge filled with chocolate buttercream

Zesty lemon sponge filled with lemon buttercream and lemon curd

Carrot Cake
Moist carrot cake packed full of sultanas, walnuts, carrots and a generous helping of dark rum. Filled with vanilla, orange or cream cheese frosting

Fruit Cake
Rich fruit cake doused with brandy and packed full of sultanas, raisins, currants and cherries

Flourless Chocolate and Almond Cake
A delicious wheat and gluten free cake, the almonds replace the flour but do not override the delicious chocolate taste. Filled with chocolate buttercream

Flourless Orange and Almond Cake
A zesty rich orange cake which is not only wheat and gluten free but also dairy free

Rich Chocolate Cake
Gooey and chocolatey, a real hit with chocoholics. Filled with chocolate buttercream

Red Velvet Cake
Bright red in colour, this cake has a creamy, velvety texture with a hint of chocolate and vanilla to its taste. Filled with cream cheese frosting or vanilla buttercream.

Lavender Cake
If you love lavender then this light lavender coloured cake will be the cake for you. Real culinary lavender is used to flavour the cake and the buttercream which fills it.

Coconut and Malibu Cake

Hazelnut Praline Cake
Light chocolate sponge with hazelnut praline swirled into the cake and the buttercream

Cappuccino Cake
A bit of a twist on the usual coffee and walnut cake, this one has a slight hint of chocolate too! Filled with coffee buttercream.

Marble Cake
A mix of vanilla and chocolate cake which creates a fantastic marble effect when cut open. Can be filled with either vanilla or chocolate buttercream.

White Chocolate and Raspberries
Delicious vanilla sponge with chunks of white chocolate and real raspberries added in. Filled with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam.

Tiramsu
Light vanilla sponge with coffee liqueur syrup, light dusting of cocoa powder and filled with Kahula buttercream

Chocolate and Baileys
Chocolate sponge with a creamy Baileys buttercream filling

Chocolate Orange
Chocolate orange sponge with an orange buttercream and orange chocolate crunchy filling

We're finding it hard to choose!

- CommentAuthorJEm1905
Don't have fruit if you don't want it. Alot of people dont really eat it but because of its weight it does have to be at the bottom on any tiered cake.

You could do a combination of lots. We are having cupcakes with a cutting cake but hoping to do lots of different flavour icings.

- CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
I don't really care about the flavours as long as there's no fruit cake near me :-)
I hate fruit cake and it's not my tradition anyway, I'm not British.

We're also having cupcakes and a larger on top to cut. They will all be wheat-, gluten- and dairyfree and I'd like a mix of choc and vanilla sponge but I think the moisture will come from courgettes. Not sure yet!

It’s so great to find that one special person
you want to annoy for the rest of your life....
