Selecting the flavours for your wedding cake is one of the sweetest parts of planning your big day. Your cake should not only look stunning but also offer a delicious variety to impress your guests. Here's a guide to help you make the tastiest choices while considering the seasons, your menu, and, most importantly, your preferences.
Offer Variety Across the Tiers
To please as many of your guests as possible, I always recommend opting for a different flavour for each tier of your cake. The more variety you offer, the better your chances of appealing to everyone's tastes.
Crowd-Pleasing Classics: Always include at least one universally loved flavour, such as vanilla, lemon, or chocolate. These are guaranteed to be a hit with guests of all ages.
A Fun 'Wild Card' Flavor: For a tier that's a little more unique, consider options like Cherry Bakewell, black forest, or Chocolate Orange. These flavours add a creative twist and make your cake extra memorable.
Choose What You Love: It's your big day, so remember to include flavours you love! After all, you'll want to enjoy every bite of the slices saved for you by your venue.
Think Seasonally
The season can have a significant impact on your cake flavours, making seasonal choices seem more fitting.
Spring and Summer Weddings: Fruity flavours work beautifully in warmer months. Popular choices include lemon or white chocolate and raspberry. These flavours are light and refreshing, perfect for sunny celebrations.
Autumn and Winter Weddings: Rich and decadent flavours shine for colder seasons. Chocolate orange, spiced carrot cake, chocolate and Irish cream are all indulgent choices that complement cosy vibes.
