Wedding cakes tend to be very different in North America from how they are in the UK. Instead of a heavy fruit based, royal icing coated Christmas style cake, they are more of a madeira style sponge with a lighter covering of buttercream. It's usual to flavour both the cake and the buttercream with delicious choices.
Some cake flavour ideas are Vanilla Chiffon, Chocolate, elderflower, Banana, Red Velvet, Carrot, Fresh Ginger & Spice, Pumpkin & Spice, Buttermilk Cake in Vanilla, Lemon, Lime or Confetti whilst Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, Mocha, Salted Caramel, Cookies & Cream, Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon Curd, Cream Cheese, Key-lime, White Chocolate, Hazelnut or Peanut Butter are favourite buttercream and filling tastes!
Fresh flowers matched to the bridal bouquet are a less expensive choice than sugar flowers which take an inordinate amount of patience as well as time to make.
