Cake flavors and food allergies

There has to be an option for them. If you're saying you will have a gluten free almond raspberry cake, that's ok if you absolutely 100% remember to tell your guests which cake is which. ETA: words

I would be careful with a tiered cake and food allergies. If any part of one tier comes in contact with another someone could have an allergic reaction.

Do your wedding cake however you want it but have sheet cakes for guests that everyone can eat.

2 cakes would be better, and in that case go for it with the one you want!

My FH is allergic to nuts and probably wouldn't even risk having a slice of cake that had been touching a nut flavored cake. Nor would i want him to, I've seen the misery he's put into when he accidentally eats nuts.

My mom is severely allergic, so the almond would need to be completely separate. We were thinking of doing a bride's cake and a groom's cake

I would be terrified that Murphy's Law would kick in and somehow one of them would end up with an allergic reaction at my wedding. Cake doesn't seem worth the worry to me.

This is one of the reasons that we are going seperate kitchen tiers/sheet cakes. We have a couple people that we know of who are allergic to nuts, we decided to do two different flavors (almond and red velvet) and then do separate sheet cakes of each flavor that will be dealt with by our caterer.

Pick the cake you want and just make the other cake a different flavor that way at least they can have one

My FSIL is allergic to nuts. She can't have our almond/coconut tier, but she also can't have our chocolate raspberry tier since the bakery can't guarantee anything is nut free in their facility. We thought it would be ok, but she recently said she can't have either.

She's almost 30, so I think she'll be okay without cake. Our favors are little bags of Hershey kisses, so we're putting some extra out in case she wants something sweet.

My brother did the tiered cake at his wedding, with the almond pound cake smack in the middle tier. I had to run around to the three or four other guests who I *knew* had nut allergies and warn them - none of us could eat any wedding cake due to fears of cross contamination. This could come from slicing the cakes with the same knife, bumping a piece of almond onto a piece of chocolate, or just the fact they're stacked on top of each other. It wasn't fun for any of us.

Instead, OP, maybe you could do a small cutting cake just for you and FH and do the rest of the cake in a nut-free flavor. Make it clear to your venue that non one else is to get a piece of your almond raspberry. It's the safest alternative.

My bakery also warned me that they couldn't guarantee nothing would come into contact with nuts; however, they were aware of my allergy and promised to be extra careful. There were no problems for anyone, and all our guests got to enjoy cake.

As someone with a peanut allergy, I'm used to not being able to eat lots of desserts at events, unless I know it's safe to eat. That doesn't mean I enjoy sitting somewhere and watching everyone else eat something good that I can't have.

Can you do a small cake with other flavors for them? One of my BMs is getting married a few months before me, they have an almond tier in their cake, and she asked if that was ok, or if I would need something different. It made me really happy that she wanted to accommodate me.

I would feel terrible purposely picking something that neither of your moms could eat, as well as many other guests.

I'm leaning towards an apple walnut cake that is so delicious! But my cousin is deathly allergic to walnuts so I'm just getting her a cupcake of her choice

Have your small GF cake be raspberry almond, and make the regular cake that all guests get be nut and raspberry free. I think it's safer to stay away from nuts since like some other people are allergic too and you wouldn't expect nuts in a wedding cake

Don't do a tiered cake with different flavors because if the nuts or raspberries touch the other layers it could still cause an allergic reaction. You need to have a separate cake for those with allergies.
