Choose my wedding cake flavor?

Question

Help me decide which wedding cake flavor is the best:

1. white cake with passion fruit buttercream

2. pineapple cake with pineapple buttercream

3. white cake with peach buttercream

4. lime cake with cranberry buttercream

5. guava cake with vanilla buttercream

6. coconut cake with vanilla buttercream

Answer 1

Don't do coconut...it is one of those things that you either love or hate

Guava  or passion fruit is too exotic and I don't think many people would like it

I know it is not one of your choices but what about a lemon cake with a pineapple butter creme type frosting.  Or white cake with a lemon butter creme.  You want people to eat the cake and not leave it sitting on the table untouched.  Some people are not as adventurous when it comes to cake.  

Answer 2

5. guava cake with vanilla buttercream

or

1. white cake with passion fruit buttercream

Answer 3

honestly they all sound gross to me.

Answer 4

I don't like cake fillings or flavors. My wedding cake is white cake with buttercream icing, since that is just a generic flavor and almost everyone will like it.

You are likely going to get more people who dislike the cake because it is a flavor than those who dislike it because its plain.

#6 sounds the most normal to me.

Honestly, all of those flavors are really bizzare. Passion fruit? Lime and cranberry? Guava? Even the coconut sounds a bit strange.

Whats wrong with white cake, maybe a coconut or flavored filling if you must, and then a buttercream icing?

Answer 5

You can have whatever you want, but if I was there I would not eat any of those. Except MAYBE the coconut one. And that's a big maybe.

The good news is - more cake for you!

Answer 6

number 1 white with passion fruit or number 5 guava with vanilla. the rest don't sound too good especially the fourth one. no offense. but congrats on the wedding and good luck!

Answer 7

Those sound very exotic. If you are only picking one, I'd go with either the white cake/peach buttercream or the coconut cake/vanilla buttercream, unless you have a very adventurous crowd. I think they all sound really good, but some of your more traditional relatives might not agree.

My fiance and I didn't want boring old white cake/white frosting either, so we got a little creative with flavors everyone is familiar with. We're having a winter wedding with a gourmet coffee and cocoa bar, so the largest layer of our cake will be cinnamon cake with an apple filling, which will go nicely with coffee. The next layer will be banana cake with marshmallow fluff filling, almost like a Twinkie! And the smallest layer will be either lemon cake with strawberry filling, or chocolate cake with peanut butter-fudge filling.

Actually, a lemon cake with pineapple or vanilla filling might be good for your cake. Lemon cake is light and sweet and pineapple and vanilla are tropical touches. I'd go for a pineapple curd filling instead of using it as a frosting flavor though. Use vanilla frosting. Great combination.

Answer 9

You must be having a beach/tropical themed wedding.  The guava w/ vanilla butter cream sounds awesome!

Answer 10

They are all a little out there to be honest, and some combos sound kinda gross. You should pick something you like, but has universal appeal. The white cake with peach buttercream sounds the least scary. You'd probably be better off with white cake and raspberry buttercream.

Answer 11

Now I wanna go to Carlito's Luau to get a smoothie!

They all sound good but I pick coconut with vanilla. I'm probably the only person in the world that likes coconut though!

Answer 12

I am so sorry .............these flavor do not sound good to me!

Maybe I am strictly Vanilla and Strawberry Cake Person and sometimes Chocolate Cake!

Answer 13

To be honest, they all sound good in their own ways... but I would choose the white cake with the Passion Fruit Butter-cream, I think it is traditional, but unique in it's own way, also would taste AMAZING!

Good luck~

Answer 14

Pineapple Cake with Pineapple buttercream :) YUMMO!!!

Maybe you could even switch up your flavors and do the cocunut cake with pineapple buttercream. Pina Colada style :)

Answer 15

At the end of the day it's your wedding so what do you like the best?

The guava cake sounds very unique!

Answer 16

summer/ spring - white cake with passion fruit

winter/ fall - coconut with vanilla  

Answer 17

Pineapple!  My wedding cake was orange cake with pineapple filling and it was unbelievable.

Pineapple cake is just delish. I'd love to be offered that at a wedding.

The only one I think sounds bad is the lime/cranberry.  

Answer 18

2. Pineapple cake with pineapple buttercream sounds delicious.

Answer 19

what about vanilla?

Answer 20

Those are all very distinct flavors, which means your guests will either love the cake or hate it.  I personally would either go with #3 or #6, but there are a lot of people who don't like coconut.  And #4 just sounds like a nasty flavor combination.

Answer 21

I wouldn't do #4 or #5.  Lime and cranberry seem to be a weird combination.   Guava is a bit too unusual for many people.  Ditto for #1, passion fruit.

This leaves: 2 or 3 or 6.  I think any is okay, but I would go for something else, such as lemon with vanilla icing or chocolate with vanilla icing.

Answer 22

every flavor you have listed sounds nasty
