The Yummiest Wedding Cake Flavors for 2022
The wedding cake has been around for a long time and is a tradition that most couples feel they want to include in their wedding but it’s good to know dull, white, tiered cakes are not your only option. There are plenty of wedding cake flavors, textures, colors, and even techniques to choose from so there is a ton of wiggle room to get the type of cake you want and there’s no obligation to go the much-traveled route with a classic vanilla cake with frosting for your wedding.
A Macaroon Tower
Wedding cakes are no longer the prim, proper, and formal desserts they once were. Many couples don’t even want a regular cake at all and instead prefer a tower of their favorite confection like macaroons. If you want a donut tower, no better time than the best day of your life to have it in.
Multiple Flavored Mini Cakes
Who said there is supposed to be one cake to rule them all? Many weddings nowadays and for the foreseeable future are looking into personalized mini cakes for each table (and maybe even each guest if the gathering is small enough) in a multitude of flavors. You could have red velvet on one table and chocolate cappuccino on the other!
Universally Appealing Chocolate And Vanilla Swirl
This is a classic ‘loved by everyone’ flavor and it has never gone out of style. Check out the pictures of a wedding from the 70s, you may find it there too! Since it is universally liked by most people it is a great choice for a diverse gathering of guests of every age and if you’re totally in over your head, safe choices in some matters can’t hurt.
Spice It Up With A Little Ginger
While we are on the subject of fall flavors and delights, ginger spice as a cake flavor is slowly becoming another favorite. With the slight tanginess of ginger and added spice, vanilla bean, maybe a little cinnamon and you’ve got yourself a tantalizing treat for the senses. Not to mention you could use decorative fondant burnt leaves or any other design you want.
Coconut Guava
If you’re feeling particularly adventurous coconut guava is a fashionable and risky choice. Fresh, light, and right out of a tropical island dream, it promises to be a perfect dessert after a heavy buffet. You might need to opt for a tiered option though because the lighter and fluffier the cake is, the more everyone will end up eating.
The Red Carpet…No The Red Velvet!
Who doesn’t love red velvet cake? For a while, it seemed like it had stopped being the go-to flavor for wedding cakes but it is making a comeback like no other! With luscious cream cheese frosting and a light fluffy texture, it is one that will leave the crowd begging for more. That is if you’ve decided to share!
Fall Caramel Apple
Caramel apple cake is another flavor that is coming back into fashion and not just for the fall months, not to mention how well it goes with an outdoor or barn wedding or just about any natural, rustic-themed wedding centered on neutral colors like beige.
