For my wedding, are there wedding cake flavors ok? 125 people at the wedding. The cake is going to be a 3-tier cake. How do these flavors sound? For the bottom layer (which is the biggest and feeds about 70 people) we are thinking about white cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream filling. For the middle layer (which feeds about 40 people) we are considering a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup filling with chocolate cake. My fiancee LOVES peanut butter cups, and the filling was REALLY good! However, we are concerned that this is not an appropriate cake flavor for a traditional evening wedding in January. But, it was very yummy. For the top layer (feeds about 15 people) we are thinking about a vanilla cake with hazelnut and chocolate filling. Do you guys think that Reese's Peanut Butter Cup filling and Chocolate Cake are appropriate for a wedding?

I don't like cherry filling and our wedding cake is strawberry with Bavarian creme filling. Ideas would be appreciated.

My Wedding Cake : Opinions & Advice? We are having a chocolate cake made for us by a girl at work for our wedding. She's a baker, not a decorator, so she's in a pinch. Its to be chocolate and more chocolate, with chocolate ganache layers inside and chocolate frosting outside. (You'd expect it to be insanely sweet, but its not.) Anyways, its a holiday themed wedding, working with Apple Red, white, and Hunter Green. We are using pinecones to tie in the brown of the cake, perhaps with "snow" tips. Its a three layer. How would you suggest I have her decorate it? We aren't coming up with any good ideas. The cake topper is an engraved acyrlic square (one of those ones that look engraved inside) with our names and the date. mschristine-i love your ideas!

How do I make my own stacked wedding cake? Ok, so my wedding is over a year away but I am starting everything now. I live in a very northern town, we are busy, but with not enough business and services. I want to have a fondant wedding cake. No one does these here, well there is one girl, but her cakes taste like crap. I am going to make my own cake. So I want to do a 3 or 4 tier cake and I was wondering if I am to stack them right on top of each other how I go about doing this, you know the ones with no spaces. I have a pretty heavy chocolate fudge cake I want to use (yes they are traditionally white, but hey, I am wearing a red dress!) So anyways, how to I keep the cake from sinking into each other. It's not that I am cheap, hell I would spend 500 bucks on a cake if thats what it took, but there is no one up here that does cakes the way I want and I know I will kick but at it as I already kick but at normal cakes. I will be doing a test run of this first to make sure my wedding day is perfect. I just wanted to remind people that there is no real places in my area that can do these cakes. I also wanted to add that the reason the one girls cakes taste like crap is because the cake itself tastes like crap, not the icing. I am marrying a great guy, no need to rethink here. We both are college educated with wonderfull careers and a beautiful house. We have been together for 7 years this july and we would like to have a family now so I think we are at the age of readiness and responsiblity, no need to worry. I also wanted to let you guys know when I say north I mean the REAL NORTH. I live in northern Canada! However I think I may still look around to see if someone else can do it. I just want it done right.

Wedding Cakes ? Hi, im getting married this year and i was looking on the internet for wedding cakes and im wanting chocolate and i found various ones I like that where stacked on top of each other. So i rang the lady to find out weather she can make a chocolate cke that is stacked and she said there is no way she can do it bacause its sponge. So that put my plan of having the wedding cake i wanted out of the window. So i went through my wedding book and found another place that makes wedding cakes but it aint buy us. anyways i went on there website and found stacked chocolate wedding cakes, So I rang the place and asked them if the could do a chcolate cake stacked on each other and the said tes of course, So why is the other lady saying she cant and the other place can ? Does anyone know how they do it or do you need something to make it not sink. Just so i can tell the other woman its possible. How do they do it though ? Come to thunk og it we did ask for chcolate sponge, any chcolate cake that can be stacked is good so what type of cake should we ask for ? Hi i dont think im getting uptight as for one thing im jsut more curious when i have searched for ages on the internet and nearly all the cakes are stacked. So telling me its not possible when it is, is a bit strange, Yes i understand they might not want to risk doing it, but its still possible to do and the woman say she can do everything. that i want her to do and she did say when i first went to her she can stack them but now she says she can. Im hardly getting uptight as wedding cakes are expensive as it is and if were paying for it you want it to be how you want it. Also arent all chocolate cakes sponge or am i missing something if there not sponge what are they.

A Cupcake wedding cake? Okay, my fiance and I LOVE the cupcake wedding cake idea. Then we could have the chocolate (which I like) and the white (which he likes) and wouldn't have the hassel of having to transport a huge cake, plus the price is more reasonable. However both sets of parents plus a woman who refers to herself as my half mom say it's a silly idea, so what is everyone elses opinion? BTW we are getting married around Halloween.

Wedding Cake Filling? A friend of mine is making my wedding cake. She will use white box mix and make a buttercream icing. I would like a chocolate filling.

She is not a professional baker but has made a couple of wedding cakes. If I could buy a filling from a bakery that would be great. Wonder if that's a possibility? I am trying to keep things simple for her.

Wedding Cake Flavor Advice - One Flavor or More? Initially I thought it would be fun to have more than one flavor combo for each tier of my 4 tier wedding cake. Then, after talking to the baker it occured to me that maybe that's too complicated. The baker is happy to do what we want, but how do you pass out cake that offers multiple flavors & fillings and get it all straight! To me it seems like we (the bride & groom) should just choose what we want ... one cake flavor & filling ... and be done with it. Doesn't having multiple flavors to choose from just create unnecessary confusion for the guests & the servers to boot? And all 4 tiers will get cut into leaving exposed, leftover cake instead of just cutting what is needed to serve the guests, right? We are having a chocolate fountain (with dipping items), fruit, crackers & cheese for snacks after the party gets rolling into the night, so there is some variety of treats other than just the wedding cake. Has anyone had a multiple flavor wedding cake? How did it go?

How can I warn unsuspected "brides to be" about a wedding cake "scam"? I wasmarried a year ago+1day today and had a very disappointing 1st anniver. I was told not to say a piece of my wedding cake by the bakery because they would make me a mini wedding cake for my one year anniver. I did just that and when I asked for my anniver. cake,I called 2 weeks before as instructed and was told they don't keep records and what type of cake was it they said ok it will be ready for me the day before my anniver. My husband and I went to pick up the cake and the cake was not even the same color(mine was a white buttercream frosted this was a chocolate) they said there was nothing they could do, we took the cake just to have a cake for our special day. My husband called back and they said we don't make special cakes for the 1st anniver. you got your cake. I thought the whole point was to have your wedding cake on your 1st anniver. I had been to several bakery's and they were all advertising this "free" 1st anniver. cake Victoria Sweets triangle area, NC

Cant Decide About A Wedding Cake, Advice Please? Hi, I am getting married in October and have paid a deposit on a cake but im having second thoughts because I am also having a Chocolate Fountain. I went over my budget a bit by getting The Riverdance to perform at the wedding which is setting me back the cost of the cake (£400), should I just use the deposit I have paid to get 1 tier of the cake made for me and my hubby to cut for the photos or should I just get the whole 4 tier cake, everyone only gets a small slice of the cake anyway so is it really worth it, I cant decide what to do. Lucyjake: you have obviously never been to a wedding where the river dancers were performing, they are amazing, I also dont think its very nice of you to tell someone that something they have picked for their wedding is TACKY, I didn't ask for your advice about the entertainment I asked about the cake!!! Thank You everyone for your thoughts, i have decided to go for just a 1 tier cake

Does anyone know of a good wedding cake recipe? This cake needs to be 4tiers. It needs to be white & chocolate for alternating layers. I want to use whip cream and strawberries to join layers of the cake together. If this does not work, then I will use buttercream frosting instead. It needs to be able to hold up in the weather, because we are having an outdoor reception and ceremony in july 2007. I want something that I can start to make about a week in advance. Maybe freeze the cakes to be stacked and decorated later. I will be using fondant to decorate the cake and make the accents. Does anyone know how long fondant accents will last? I have made and decorated many cakes in the past, but never a tiered cake. All help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone.

How much did/will you pay for your wedding cake? I was blessed to have a close childhood friend whose a professional cake decorator who did our cake. It served 200 people, 3 square tiers, raspberry filling and white chocolate buttercream icing. It had a row of lilies and orchids cascading down and around from the top to bottom. I remember there were lots of details like small silver beads (edible), swirls, swags in the icing. How much would I have paid for something like this? The cake was free! My husband insisted on reimbursing her by giving her 15 personal training sessions.

How would you like to do your wedding ceremony/party ? If I will marry one day I would like to do the ceremony on the beach. With families + a few real friends.

And to finish put some fireworks at the end of the party. How would you like to do your wedding ceremony/party ?? Express in your own word , how you would like to do it.!!

Coffee house wedding reception ideas? My fiance and I are planning an evening wedding with a coffee and desserts reception to follow. We are having a cheesecake wedding cake and a chocolate fountain. We want to have a self-serve coffee bar area where people can choose between international coffees and teas. Any ideas or suggestions to contribute? Ideas for fun desserts to go along with our theme? Ideas for themed favours or decorations? I am curious to know if anyone else has done this before? And if so, how did it turn out? Answers to some of your questions... 1) No, we don't expect everyone to drink tea and coffee. We'll also be having barrels (filled with ice) of coke, diet coke, bottled water and juices for the kids. 2) There will be a few small chocolate fountains scattered through out the room so people won't be crowded in one area. 3) And yes, we do plan on having entertainment - coffee house style with a small corner of the place as the stage. We have a friend who's an amazing musician (sings/plays guitar) play towards the end of the evening. 4) The building is small and intimate - seats 75 or 100 standing/mingling. The floor is stone and the rest is woodwork so it will have the rustic coffee house feel to it. There is a kitchen, though we are trying to keep our dessert ideas simple. Anyone else ever try a coffee and desserts reception? How did it turn out? The biscotti idea is great...I can't believe I overlooked that idea myself!
