Many of our patrons are requesting a flavor list. We really don’t have one. As specialty bakers the options are almost unlimited. There are many combinations for cakes, fillings and icings. And cakes can be fashioned out of your favorite desserts. This article is pointed to our brides, but when we bake birthday, baby shower, anniversary and celebration cakes, we use the same ingredients, style and yes, this same flavor inspiration list. So, let us know your favorites! We can take about any favorite dessert and make it a cake!
We want to offer a variety of tastes that represent the slices you will present to your guests. We do offer scheduled tastings and consultations to our brides.
We choose tasting flavors based on traditional and seasonal flavors with input from our couples and other visitors . They will include Bavarians, cheesecakes, mousse, curds, fruit compotes and more. The sample flavors we provide for you will represent our talent, taste and presentation. We feel you will find our cakes …just simply delicious and ask you to imagine how good your cake will be, for example, “substituting the raspberry for blackberry.”
Here is a common list that we use for our scheduled wedding tasting menu to give you a quick look at what we offer:
- Apple Spice with a caramel buttercream filling
- Pumpkin spice with an orange zest cream cheese filling on the 1st and middle, top filling layer of pumpkin puree cream filling
- Traditional red velvet with a traditional cream cheese filling
- Chocolate cake with a peanut butter mousse filling
- Italian cream (my most popular white cake) with a raspberry puree and Chambord (raspberry liqueur)
- Lemon cake, lemon curd filling with a blueberry coulis and vanilla buttercream
- Strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream and a strawberry cheesecake filling layer
- Carrot cake with a traditional cream cheese filling
- Chocolate/Almond marble cake with an Amaretto filling and an almond cheesecake and cream cheese filling layer in the top filling layer
All of our cakes are scratch made with natural ingredients. Fresh and local when we can find them, including compotes, jams, and other fillings. Our buttercream icings are made with real sweet butter, no shortening, margarine, or powdered sugar. They are light in texture and in flavor. They are the true buttercream icings.
You can have any flavor combination inside your cake. And the outside can be decorated any way you would like. So, have your cake and eat it too!!
This is just an idea for our cakes. We have an extensive menu for cheesecakes, pies, and other desserts on our brick and mortar website at http://www.justsimplydelicious.com
