How to Choose Wedding Cake Flavors

By Simply Caketastic4 min read

Start with flavors you both enjoy, then consider your guests and the other desserts you plan to serve. Choose a cake flavor, filling and frosting together, and ask the bakery to confirm the combination for your design. Simply Caketastic offers classics such as Vanilla and Chocolate alongside Pink Champagne, Lavender, Raspberry Swirl and more.

Which wedding cake flavors can you choose?

You don't have to pick a flavor because it sounds traditionally bridal. Start with a short list of favorites you genuinely enjoy. A familiar option may suit your group, while a flavor such as Lavender or Pink Champagne might feel more personal to you.

Simply Caketastic's cake menu includes the flavors below. These are cake flavors, not an assumption that every cupcake flavor is also available as a tiered cake. Confirm availability and your final combination with the bakery.

  • Vanilla
  • Chocolate
  • Strawberry
  • Lemon
  • Confetti
  • Banana
  • Marble
  • Carrot
  • Chocolate Chip
  • Oreo
  • Raspberry Swirl
  • Coconut
  • Snickerdoodle
  • German Chocolate
  • Almond
  • Red Velvet
  • Pink Champagne
  • Lavender

How do you choose a filling and frosting?

Think about the whole slice rather than choosing three separate favorites at random. Tell us whether you like chocolate, fruit, a lighter flavor or something richer, then ask which fillings and frostings work with the cake you chose.

The menu includes mousse fillings such as Raspberry, Lemon, Chocolate, Vanilla Bean and Mocha; other fillings include Lemon Curd, Chocolate Ganache and Coconut Pecan. Buttercream choices include Vanilla, Cream Cheese, White Chocolate, Lemon, Chocolate, Raspberry, Strawberry and Peanut Butter.

These options are starting points for discussion, not a list of guaranteed pairings. The bakery confirms the flavor combination and finish for your cake. You can bring your preferred outside design without already knowing the filling.

Should every guest get the same flavor?

Talk about your guest count, your favorites and whether you are serving cupcakes or other desserts. You can ask about different flavors across tiers, but confirm the specific combination with the bakery before treating it as part of the order.

If you are considering cake plus cupcakes, use the full cupcake menu as well. There are 21 cupcake flavors, including Salted Caramel, Maple Bacon and Lemon Blueberry. Keep quantity and decoration choices in the same conversation so the bakery can quote the entire plan.

Can you arrange a wedding cake tasting?

Ask about tasting availability and arrangements when you inquire. The bakery has not published a fixed tasting schedule, free-tasting policy or tasting price, so confirm these details directly rather than planning around an assumption.

Bring your short list of cake flavors and fillings to the conversation. If there are food allergies or dietary needs, raise them before selecting a flavor. Gluten-free and dairy-free options are available, but a listed flavor does not establish that it meets a particular dietary need, and the bakery cannot guarantee an allergen-free cake.

Once the flavors, design and pricing are finalized, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required before work begins. An online request alone does not confirm the wedding cake.
