Perhaps the only thing better than the Reception dinner, is the Reception dessert. Nanina’s has checked with several prominent historians and sociologists and they’ve concluded that people didn’t even bother having wedding Receptions until they thought of adding dishes laden with sugar and cream.
What? Where’s the research? Well…it’s still under peer review, but we’re, like, very, very certain it’s true. I mean, could you imagine a wedding without the wedding cake? Exactly. So while we all wait patiently for Reception-birthed-via-sweets to become scientific fact, here some tasty and popular wedding cake flavors for you to consider. We’ll let you decide if you want to actually serve any to the guests or just have it delivered to your home.
- Vanilla on Vanilla
- This classic wedding cake has endured for a reason. A simple flavor serves to fully absorb the full richness and texture of buttercream and fondant icing. It may not be bold and wild by 21st century standards, but very few guests will decline with, “Oh, that flavor isn’t for me”.
- Chocolate Almond Cake with Chocolate Icing
- While we’re on mono-flavors, you can go the complete opposite route and indulge on doubling up the chocolate. Milk isn’t required, but highly advised!
- Coconut Red Velvet
- Traditional Red Velvet cake topped with coconut-flavored cream cheese and/or covered in large coconut flakes. An exquisite union of southern and tropical flavors.
- Yellow Cake
- This cake has a strong dairy-esque taste to it. The butter, sugar and eggs are in the forefront. This makes the cake highly versatile for pairing with any flavor buttercream or fondant, as well as adding any combination of nuts and berries.
- Chocolate Devil Food’s Cake with Chocolate Ganache and Praline Buttercream
- If you’re going to go decadent, don’t settle with just dipping your toe in. Get a running start and jump in.
These are just a few ideas. As a top New Jersey Wedding Venue, Nanina’s can recommend you to the bakers and culinary artists that will make your wedding cake dreams come true.
