Wedding Cake Flavors & Fillings: How to Choose

The design gets all the attention, but the flavor is what your guests actually remember. The best part of ordering a custom cake is that you get to choose every layer, and you get to taste them all before you decide.

Three layers of flavor

Every cake is really three choices working together: the cake itself, the icing, and the filling. At Celebrations by Sonja, the icing is always buttercream, the cake is baked to order, and the fillings are made with real fruit, never a gel or a glaze.

Popular flavor pairings

If you are not sure where to start, a few combinations are crowd favorites for a reason:

  • White cake with strawberry or triple-berry filling. Light, fresh, and universally loved.
  • Almond cake with raspberry. A classic wedding pairing that feels a little elegant.
  • Chocolate cake with salted caramel or Oreo cookies and cream. Rich and indulgent for the chocolate lovers.
  • Lemon cake with lemon curd. Bright and refreshing, especially for spring and summer weddings.

Mix and match by tier

You do not have to pick just one. Many couples choose a different flavor for each tier so there is something for everyone. It is a simple way to please a room full of different tastes.

Taste before you decide

You should never have to guess. At your free tasting, you will sample flavors, fillings, and buttercream and build the combination that is right for your day. See all the flavors Sonja offers, then book your tasting to try them for yourself.
