I know these flavors may not be exact since everyone calls some of these flavors different names for different types of cake, but just as a generalization, what flavors are you having in your bride's cake?

We are having a rum cake. I am originally from the Virgin Islands so I think it only appropriate that I use some of that Cruzan Rum in my cake! Yummy yum yum!

I do wedding cakes and caterer. I love doing different cake flavors for different tiers, such as red velvet, rum, butterrum pecan, black walnut, strawberry, pistachio, lemon cream, egg nog, banana, and lemon lime. Get creative just know that it may get a little expensive. But in the end if you have a moist cake with a great icing and a beautiful design, you cannot go wrong and you and your guests will be happy.
I got married on December 6, 2003 ( only four months ago!)
and I had a NINE TIER CAKE, HONESTLY! My wedding colors were platinum and pearl, so my cake inside and out was buttercream! It was delicious. EVERYONE who attended my reception is still talking about how good my cake was and how huuuuge it was
We are going with a layered cake and picking different flavors for each. Tiramisu (cream filling), Rum, and Red Velvet are are top choices right now but we are still deciding.
We are doing two different flavors and alternating the layers. Butter Rum and Black Russian which has Khalua in it. We went to a cake tasting and those two flavors were awesome. You cant even taste the alcohol in it. The liquors used just made them rich in flavor.
Bold TextNIHTAZBold Text Where are you located I would love to talk to you more about food Ideas. Now I have a question about the tradition of the bride's cake & the groom's should they be apart of the cake tiers or are they separate and who eats those. Jus the bride and groom or do we have to share?
French vanilla.I think Niquey posted a few months ago about taking basic white cake mix and mixing it a french vanilla cake mix.I haven't tried it yet but it sounds like a great way to add flavor to a plain white cake.
Our cake is yellow with lemon filling and buttercream icing. The bakery is going to create some sugarpaste Magnolias for the top ( in keeping with ou theme)
I only wish they offered that service here---I would make appointments with all bakeries just to eat their chocolate cakes...yum! bad of me but still!!! I love chocolate what can I say :-)
I havent really picked out a flavor of cake or even a wedding cake for that matter but ...I have picked a cake for my bridal shower.Recently my cousin had a Hypnotic cake and I had a piece and it was good. You cant really taste the liquor in it but the color is cool.Her cake was a bundt cake but I will probably get one made from who ever she went to.For those of you who dont know Hypnotic is a light blue colored liquor that is mixed with Hennesy to make "the incredible hulk" drink.I worked at a Comedy clud for about a year and a half so I learned a few drinks....
Mine is a three tier, buttercream chocolate cake with raspberry filing on top and bottom tiers and chocolate mousse on the middle tier.
The cake tasting was so great....it's gonna be some good cake!
I Love chocolate. Even for wedding cakes. I went to a client's wedding and their's was Chocolate raspberry Ganache with GOLD marzipan covering the whole thing. I LOVED it. shamefully I had two slices. It wasn't too sweet and it put everyone in a good mood. Nothing but grins.
A VI style wedding cake is a 3 tier pound cake layered with pineapple and strawberry preserves. Then covered with butter cream or old fashioned handmade icing. If you didn't have diabetes before, you sure gonna get it before the night's out! Yum!

Rosetta,
We had that VI style wedding cake for our wedding and couldn't get enough of it. A lady from Frenchtown who's been baking for years made it. My mother was like, "I don't want no hotel wedding cake!" It's a good thing she made 5 tiers. We've got the top tier and a big piece of black cake freezing. Knowing how much I like cake, it's a lot of restraint on my part not to eat it right now. :0D LOL!
MY CAKE WILL BE A FOUR TIER AND ONE TIER YELLOW CAKE WITH BUTTER CREAM ICING CREAM CHEESE FILLING 2ND CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CREAMCHEESE FILLING 3 AN 4 FRESH BANANAS AND STRAWBERRIS WITH WHIPPED VANILLA CUSTARD
Since we are a interracial couple we have decided to do a marbel cake to symbolize our union. As for the flavor we are thinking of doing a french vanilla flavor. Our cake is going to be an off white three tiered cake with a navy ribbon at the bottom of all three layers.

Thanks butterbean and VIPrincess. Trust me the cake taste heavenly and because I love her work so much, she's also doing the cake for my bridal shower and my rehearsal dinner. I've posted pictures in previous posts, but here we go.
This is my Rehearsal Dinner cake. It's a 2-layer white cake, White chocolate mousse filling,dressed in sweet buttercream and drizzled with fresh coconut.
This is my Bridal Shower cake. It's just a one layer white cake with white chocolate mousse filling and buttercream icing. The scrool work also matches my wedding cake as well
I think if you don't have that cake being from St. Thomas people would leave disappointed. LOL so I totally get it! Cool trick is to wrap cake in wax paper, then place in a freezer zip lock bag, THEN place in your cake keepsake box. Don't want your first anniversary dessert to taste like cardboard!

Hi Bumble,
The same lady who made the wedding cake made the black cake, and it was good! Moist, moist, moist and not dry at all like some I've tasted by people who didn't know how to make it well. It was so moist, you could see little wet spots in the little boxes we put it in for the guests. I know when I was little, my mom had written a recipe in the cover of an old Betty Crocker cook book that is now gone. She's probably attempted it over the the years, as have I. I'm sure I can find a good recipe somewhere in St. Thomas, but will need to practice it. I know at Christmas time when we would order it from someone, it would disappear fast.
