Wedding Cake flavours

I'm doing a 3 tier vanilla cake with a layer of mango buttercream in each. The mango buttercream will be the outside icing too.

That's interesting is this what it looks like?

I wonder how that will taste with vanilla and mango together...that is very unique.

Thank you!

I was curious as to where you were getting your cake from? Are you upgrading from what comes with the wedding package?

 

Thanks!

My family loves the traditional Jamaican cake. It's called fruit cake here. It tastes way better than the American fruit cake. It's made different. My only problem is that I didn't like the cake I tasted so I'm looking another cake baker or bringing it from home.

My cake's going to be 3 tiers. I'm not sure why, because I don't even like cake...but I wanted the 3rd tier so it'll look cool in the pictures. Haha.

We chose a different flavor for each tier to please everyone's palette. The first is chocolate with chocolate mousse. The second tier is a white cake with a fresh strawberries, and the third is lemon with a ganache filling. This is in addition to a dessert bar that is going to be mostly pies and fruits. Good grief! haha

I'm getting my cake through Sheila's bakery. It is an upgrade from our wedding package. $370 was the quote she gave us. We have 75 people coming but I asked for a cake large enough for only 45 because everyone always says there's so much left over and we'll have a dessert bar as well.

We are getting married at Couples swept away and the options are vanilla, chocolate, or Jamaican fruit cake. I wanted to get the fruit cake but was worried since american fruit cake is so terrible! I think I'm going to go for it after reading your comment.

We are not upgrading our cake. It's a small relatively plain 2 tiered cake that feeds 10. We are having an elaborate cake at our reception at home so I can't justify the extra expense!
