Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting things. But, it can also be one of the most overwhelming and frustrating things you will ever experience in your life. Just choosing the centerpiece and the type of flowers you want on the tables can be a headache. Picking out something as important as your wedding cake can be a nightmare.
Apart from the right type of design for your cake and the cake topper, picking the right flavor to represent your union with your loved one is the real challenge. These days, you aren’t limited to the basic flavors. With the right baker, you can get a wide variety of delicious flavor combinations.
To help you out, here are some delicious flavor combinations that are sure to wow your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth.
1. Classic Vanilla and Strawberry
One of the best and most timeless flavor combinations is vanilla with strawberry. This combination is one of the most popular ones because it never goes out of style and everyone likes it. The strawberry and vanilla combinations go a long way back, even popular with ice creams and cupcakes. The light and airy vanilla cake perfectly complements the sweet and tangy flavor of fresh strawberries.
2. Decadent Chocolate and Salted Caramel
While strawberry and vanilla is a great combination, sometimes you need a little bit different. If you love chocolate, then this one might for you.
If you are thinking a bit on the chocolate sides of things, you should consider pairing up chocolate with salted caramel.
The deep, intense flavor of the chocolate cake is beautifully balanced by the sweet and salty notes of the caramel. It’s a luxurious flavor combination that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
You can talk to a baker who specializes in custom design wedding cakes to see what they can do for you.
3. Elegant Lemon and Raspberry
If you are searching for something a little more zesty and elegant, then you should consider mixing up lemon with raspberry. This flavor combination is more unique. Not many people go with it, because they are not used to the bright, zesty flavor of lemon cake paired with the tartness of fresh raspberries creates a refreshing and elegant dessert option.
But, you should definitely ask your baker for a sample and try it out for yourself. If you are having a summer wedding, this cake can definitely add some color to the table.
4. Indulgent Red Velvet and Cream Cheese
Another flavor that has become a favorite all around the world is the red velvet. The rich, velvety texture and subtle cocoa flavor of red velvet cake paired with tangy cream cheese frosting is a match made in dessert heaven. But, you do have to keep in mind that maybe some of your guests are lactose intolerant. That could make things complicated during the dessert part of your wedding.
If everything is good on your guests part, then the red velvet and cream cheese combination can be a great hit.
Conclusion
While these are some of the most delicious flavor combinations, you should keep in mind that there are many many more. Your baker could even have a few custom ones that they tried out themselves. If you are unsure about which one to pick, try to think of the overall style of your wedding and your style as a couple.
