The cake will be 4-tiered, and each tier *could* be a different combo, made up of two cake flavors and three fillings.

Cakes: Spiced apple, vanilla, chocolate, marble, banana, almond, vanilla chambord (raspberry liquor), chocolate amaretto.
Fillings: Vanilla mousse, chocolate mousse, bavarian cream, raspberry, apricot, chocolate ganache.

Which is good :) I love me some ganache, as well!! Re: Other flavors... Tried 'em, and they weren't BAD, but I didn't love them. The amaretto has a STRONG amaretto flavor which may put off a lot of guests. I'm also worried about almond allergies. Vanilla, chocolate, chambord, and almond were DIVINE, though. The others were "really good." It's a tough thing-- I want guests to like the cake but I really want to LOVE it!! I guess we have the option of making our "top tier" whatever flavor we'd like.. Hmm..

Hmm.. do it! that tier is all yours i'm definitely going to try to make one of those flavors next time i make a cake, besides what amaretto or chambourd doesn't end up in the batter might as well end up in me ~Sanity is overrated anywho~ defeated by an infinate decimal

If so, I think that is too much going on. I would stick with one cake flavor per tier and 2 filling flavors at most. However, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to wedding cake - so feel free to ignore me. I'm usually disappointed when wedding cake isn't "wedding cake" (white cake, butter cream frosting). So my vote would be Vanilla cake, with vanilla mousse and/or apricot filling. _____________________________ "Hello Dollies" Combine 1 stick melted butter and 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Press in greased 9x13 pan. On top, layer 1 package chocolate chips, 1 package peanut butter chips, 1 12oz can lightly salted peanuts. Top with 1 small can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free big deal!). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (the edges should be bubbly). I recommend not cutting them until the next day because it seems to take that long for the graham cracker bottom to really harden.

I loved the almond cake we tried too, yummmmmm! I think we're doing one tier of that.

Dreamgirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,993 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 3/25/2008	I chose: Chocolate and Vanilla cake with Bavarian Cream/Choc. Mousse/Vanilla Mousse I think it sounds delish and I don't like to get too funky with cake flavors. ____________________________________________________________ Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

Ditto...I think any of the combos of chocolate, vanilla, or almond would be safe, but I really dislike raspberry with cake. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~
