See if your baker will combine a yellow or white cake mix with cream cheese for an extra rich cake. The filling would consist of a layer of cream cheese buttercream sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs. Finish with a sour cream or white buttercream frosting.
Infuse dark chocolate tiers with espresso and bourbon. Fill with bourbon mascarpone. The finished cake can either be covered in fondant or frosted with toasted meringue. This cake even looks beautiful as a naked cake.
If you are having trouble choosing your wedding cake flavors, why not try pie? You can stack tiers of pies on a tier rack. Just use different sizes of pie plates: larger on the bottom up to a small personal pie on the top. Try pie fillings that are seasonal and use a nice lattice finish for the top crust.
Layer tiers of graham spice cake with marshmallow fluff filling and chocolate ganache. Frost the cake with toasted meringue for a fluffy finish. You can ice the bottoms with chocolate ganache or sprinkle chocolate curls onto the toasted meringue.
Form tiers of chocolate hazelnut cake and hazelnut buttercream icing. Finish with chocolate ganache frosting and sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts.
For 2017, the latest craze is a “naked cake.” Stack tiers of different cake flavors in different colors. For example: tier one - strawberry, tier two - chocolate, tier three - key lime, and a yellow cake topper. Alternate coordinating fillings between each and dust sides with powdered sugar. Absolutely no frosting - just beautiful cake and fillings.
For a simpler version, stack layers of angel food cake with whipped cream and fresh fruit pieces for the filling using kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Stack layers of strawberry cake, vanilla cake, and chocolate cake. Fill with vanilla buttercream or chocolate ganache. You can even use fresh strawberries over the strawberry cake and layers of fudge filling over the chocolate with vanilla mousse for the vanilla cake.
Square vanilla cake tiers are infused with espresso and rum. The cake is filled with mascarpone cheese, infused with rum. Top it with whipped cream and sprinkled with espresso powder.
