Let's Talk Cake!

Maybe because I'm hungry, but let's talk cake! What flavors of cake will you/did you have (if you're having cake or cupcakes)? Feel free to post pics of your cake, cake tasting or tasty inspiration.

To fit our 50's/60's reception theme, we wanted a traditional vanilla cake. At our tasting, we loved two layers chocolate Bavarian creme and one layer baked spiced apples. It was a hit at our reception!

Our dessert table. Because our venue included 3 dessert shots, we just bought a one-tier cake.

    Ooh, cinnamon would be yummy. Is anyone allergic to that flavor? Good thing you had vanilla too, just in case. 😳

    Yes! It's just enough lol. I guess we'll see how our cake tasting will go but I feel like it's definitely between marble and something strawberry for that light and airy taste.


    I know not all companies have same flavored cakes that taste the same so hopefully this strawberry one will be up to par at least like the other place we liked.

    Nope. No allergies. But we also had cheesecake, Oreo shooters, banana pudding shooters, donuts, and cookies. So there was no shortage of options.

    The bakery provided it. I was having a difficult time finding one that was correct side and wasn't insanely expensive so they said would let us use one they had. I wanted one that was silver and they luckily had this one.

    Can you choose two? Marble would a be great choice, then something else for your strawberry?

    You’re so lucky! We ended up just keeping it in the thin delivery base because we were not going to buy one. Thank goodness our venue include cake cutters for free.

    It's crazy how expensive cake stands are. I was going to borrow the one my brother used for his wedding four months prior to mine but it wasn't big enough.

    Interesting! So then I feel even better about dropping some things off our dessert table!

    Oh! I mean possibly, if we're able to do each tier a different flavor.

    Well the 3 dessert shots per guest definitely too many. We got a cake that would only feed about 1/3-1/2 the guests and it seems like anyone who wanted a piece got one.

    I know! That’s why we told our baker the delivery pad (I don’t know what it’s called was fine).

    We had a vanilla/chocolate marbled cake, with dark chocolate filling. I am a chocoholic, and I'd have gone full chocolate, but DH made a point that many people find that to be too much. So.

    We had it decorated like a baseball, with a comedy/tragedy mask in the stitching. We then topped it with three figurines of our favorite mascot. Buttercream.

    DH is very anxious for our first anniversary, because the top tier is sitting in our freezer, taking up a LOT of room.

    We fill have a simply white cake with buttercream, it will be 2 layers with roses out of buttercream, My FH doesn’t like cake that well. We will pick up cake(s) at Costco that the venue will cut and put out. I’ll probably supplement dessert table. But I would want all the cake you had -except the pistachio.

    I love chocolate but I’m one of those who thinks chocolate chocolate is a bit much (I’d eat it then be sick). Great pic!


    You’ll have to let us know how the cake tastes on your one-year anniversary. 🍰
