Fresh & Fun: Wedding Cake Flavor Ideas for Every Season

I think that one of the best ways to put a dash of fun into wedding planning is to focus on the little, enjoyable details and make them your own.

Choosing your cake flavor is a perfect example. You can choose to do vanilla (which is certainly a crowd pleaser), but you can also choose to offer guests something unexpected with a seasonal flavor choice.

Talk to your local baker, who will probably have MANY more ideas than I do. But as a starting point (and coming from someone with a major sweet tooth), check out the ideas below!

Spring: Lemon Cake with Strawberry Jam Filling

For a spring wedding, there's nothing more fitting than a zesty lemon cake with a sweet strawberry jam filling. It's practically sunshine in a cake! It's vibrant, it's elegant, and it couldn't be more fitting for a lively springtime wedding.

Summer: Pound Cake Topped with Fresh Raspberries and Blueberries

For a summer celebration, this cake offers a perfect blend of rich flavor and seasonal freshness. The delicious contrast is both satisfying and light. The vibrant colors of the berries embody the essence of summer - simple, spirited, and full of flavor.
