Choosing your wedding cake flavor is one of the most delicious decisions you'll make during the wedding planning process. But with so many options out there, how do you pick the perfect one? Do you go classic or adventurous? Light or decadent? No worries—we’ve got you covered! Here’s everything you need to consider when selecting your wedding cake flavor.
Is the Wedding Cake the Main Dessert?
Before deciding on a flavor, think about how your wedding cake fits into your overall wedding reception.
The Cake is the Main Dessert
If your wedding cake is the only dessert, go with a universally loved flavor that appeals to a broad range of tastes. Any of our best selling flavours would be the recommendation such as Vanilla, Cookies and Cream or Chocolate Vanilla.
The Cake is One of Many Desserts
If you’re also serving a dessert table, your cake can complement other sweets rather than compete with them. Serving a rich, chocolate-heavy dessert table? A lighter flavor like Pink Champagne (champagne cake with vanilla buttercream) adds a delicate touch. Going all-in on fruit-based desserts? A cozy, spiced option like Brown Sugar Latte (vanilla latte cake with brown sugar buttercream) could be a great contrast.
The Cake is Just for the Couple
Some couples opt for a small wedding cake meant just for them. If that’s the case, you can pick whatever flavour you love most! Obsessed with coffee? Try Baileys Coffee (Baileys cake with coffee buttercream). Want something unexpected? Whiskey Chocolate Caramel (whiskey chocolate cake with salted caramel buttercream) is a decadent, grown-up treat.
What Age Are Your Wedding Guests?
Your guest list might influence your cake flavor decision. Lots of Kids & Picky Eaters? Stick with familiar favorites like Classic Vanilla, Chocolate Vanilla, or Cookies & Cream. Mostly Adults? You can explore more unique flavors like Earl Grey Lavender (Earl Grey tea cake with lavender lemon buttercream) or Brown Sugar Latte.
What Time of the Year is Your Wedding?
We naturally associate certain flavors with different times of the year. Winter and fall weddings call for cozy, warm flavors like Whiskey Chocolate Caramel, Baileys Coffee, or spiced options like Brown Sugar Latte. Spring and summer weddings, guests are looking for something light and refreshing like Pink Champagne, Earl Grey Lavender.
