Other than my own cakes some of the most wonderful cake I've had was at weddings. (Had some pretty awful cake at weddings a couple of times too.) There's a greater variety of flavors in wedding cakes these days, often with every tier being something different, but my preference is always for the beautiful moist white cake with delicious white icing. I can see it before I even taste it. I've sent my kids back for seconds for me in the past. They're grown now but will still bring me seconds. They're good kids! The white cakes don't all taste the same to me. When I want a second piece it's something special. I think you could take 3 bakers and tell them to make their basic white cake and they won't all taste the same. I know women who can't bake a decent cake period. My best old lady friend had told me for years that she hates cake because it's all so dry. One day when I was baking for someone I decided to make her a 4" cake iced with my bc and took it to her. She loved it and it sure shut her up about all cake being dry. LOL Unless they're grocery store cakes hammered from the same mold (so to speak) wedding cakes do taste different to me. My guess it it's because of the quality and care that goes into making them. That's my opinion.
Did a wedding cake that clients gushed over - choc cake with choc ganache, buttercream with choc drizzle. They ordered same cake for first anniversary - yummy! Then they ordered same cake for a birthday ~ and complained it tasted like wedding cake! 
Wha?! Same recipe - its what they ordered. And yet somehow they actually expected it to taste different!
I don't think they are eating them together in one cake, I take it she is talking about different cakes (i.e. layers). I am making cupcakes for a baby shower this following weekend. Half are lemon and the other half chocolate.
BTW KHalstead, I LOVE your sig line!!!
read this post to hubby and he said.. use baby powder in stead of powdered sugar..
THAT would make it taste like a baby shower cake.. Yes, he is silly. 
My hubby said pretty much the same thing. He said just use formula instead of milk or water.
I understand that they really are clueless about the cake. The poor girl so far has no one giving her a bridal shower. She is just frantic, as the wedding is only a couple of weeks away.

i dont get it, why be a frantic because no bridal shower? heck ive been happily married for almost 10yrs managed without one (we eloped btw).
..... I ahve someone who wants a wedding cake, but wants it to taste like a baby shower cake?.....
hehheh, my first thought was using baby powder instead of flour 
i didnt know there was a difference but im happy to accept all cake samples and let you know
Well, maybe suggest that there's nothing wrong with throwing a bridal shower to herself...but wait! then she's gonna want a bridal shower cake to taste like a babyshower cake!! ahhhh, life's too complicated sometimes LOL
Yes there is. You cannot host your own bridal shower. Furthermore, unless it is a family only shower, the shower should not be hosted by a family member.
You don't have to have a shower. It is not a requirement. You will be just as married without one as with one. Is this girl getting married because she wants to spend the rest of her life with the love of her life, or because she wants a party that is all about her and tons of gifts?
Humm.... I think I'm going to use this to my advantage.... LOL
I'll be the only one in town with a "baby shower" flavor......and "birthday cake" flavor! : D

It's funny how the most laid back girl can turn into a 'zilla very quickly. I don't doubt the love between the bride and groom. Still......a diva is a diva
