Top 5 Wedding Cake Flavours
Have you attended a wedding recently? I am curious to know what flavour the wedding cake was. It's interesting to see how wedding cake flavours have changed over time. No more heavy fruit cakes or plain sponges. As a professional baker, I have made many wedding cakes over the years and noticed a significant shift in the flavours that couples choose for their special day. Based on my experience, I have compiled a list of the top 5 wedding cake flavours that have consistently been favourites among my clients. Which one would you choose?
Lemon and Elderflower
When couples sample my menu, many opt for lemon and elderflower as one of their wedding cake flavours. Lemon cake is a great option for those who prefer a lighter and less sweet alternative. With the addition of Sicilian lemon curd and floral elderflower buttercream, it becomes a moist and irresistible sponge perfect for a summer wedding. This is why it's come in as the leader in the top wedding cake flavours. Fancy a slice?
Raspberry and White Chocolate
My signature vanilla genoise sponge, layered with smooth, Belgian white chocolate buttercream and handmade raspberry jam makes for a modern twist on the classic victoria sponge. The white chocolate flavour is gentle but not overpowering, and the sweet/tart fresh raspberry conserve is the perfect compliment. This is honestly one of my favourite flavour combinations, and it appears that you all agree because it comes in at number two on the list!
Toffee and Salted Caramel
Who doesn’t like toffee? At number three is my butterscotch toffee sponge layered with a blanket of thick salted caramel sauce and smooth salted caramel buttercream. It is personally one of the flavours I can’t resist! What puts this salted caramel cake ahead of the game is the toffee sponge - super fluffy and deliciously moreish. Yum.
Carrot Cake & Orange Blossom
Coming in at number four is the delicious Carrot Cake and Orange Blossom. This flavour has been gaining immense popularity among couples - and for good reason! With a perfect blend of cinnamon and nutmeg spices, raisins and walnuts, paired with heavenly orange blossom buttercream or whipped cream cheese frosting, this cake is moist, flavourful, and utterly delicious. It's no surprise that so many people are falling in love with it!
Chocolate Fudge
Chocolate remains a go-to for its rich and indulgent taste. Coming in at number five is my decadent, rich chocolate mud cake layered with a dark (or milk) Belgian chocolate ganache is a real indulgent choice for you and your guests to enjoy. Level up your chocolate cake with an alternative twist on the filling - why not try orange blossom buttercream? The possibilities are endless! Regardless, if you’re a chocolate lover, then this one is an excellent choice for you.
