It is wonderful to have a wedding cake that matches the season of your event, both on the outside and the inside. While traditional white wedding cake is always a crowd-pleaser, there are many other options for tasty cake and filling combinations.These are some of the most delicious flavors for winter wedding cakes.
Candy Cane: What could be more wintery than the peppermint goodness of candy canes? It is right up there with Christmas trees and crystal snowflake earrings for seasonal fun. A candy cane flavored wedding cake could be truly incredible. You could choose either a white chocolate or a milk chocolate based cake and have the baker create a white frosting using finely crushed candy canes. The bits of red will look great on the outside, and the flavor combination will be amazing, like having a giant piece of peppermint bark for your cake. Yum!
Gingerbread: The spicy flavor of gingerbread is another iconic winter taste (and aroma). Choose gingerbread cake with a rich cream cheese or buttercream frosting for a wonderful combo. You can decorate the outside of the cake any way that you like, of course, but it could be fun to create an elegant design loosely inspired by gingerbread houses. Imagine tiers decorated with piped icing in intricate patterns like one finds on the Victorian inspired gingerbread houses. It could be so lovely. Or go casual and fun with a gingerbread cookie bride and groom cake topper, complete with a frosting wedding dress and pearl necklace on the “bride”.
Eggnog: This is another wonderful flavor that evokes the winter holiday season. An eggnog cake would be tasty with a rum-infused vanilla frosting. It is also a flavor that would work well in a cake that has different flavors for each tier. You could have one eggnog, one chocolate-cinnamon, and one traditional buttercream as your “safe” flavor.
Mocha truffle: For the chocolate lovers out there, how about a mocha truffle wedding cake? This is a flavor that your groom is sure to love too! A dark chocolate or white chocolate frosting would be an excellent companion to the mocha. A chocolate icing with a dash of cinnamon would also be fantastic. Serve this cake with strong coffee to play up the coffee in the mocha.
There are plenty of other delicious ideas for winter wedding cake flavors. You could do cranberry-buttercream filling in a white cake, a spice cake, a caramel and pear cake, or even a Christmas cookie flavor. Which winter cake variety do you like best?
