Hello Everyone!

I am going to make a wedding/anniversary cake for my Husband and I next month. (15years, and we never had a wedding cake!) I want to do something different, and Yummy! I haven't done much experimenting with cake flavors and Icing combinations, so I would like to know what all of you think? What is a really good combination? I don't want to do just a regular white/yellow/choc cake, I want more flavor!

HELP!!!!! icon_eek.gif

Devishly Good Chocolate Cake, filled with Butterscotch pudding, frosted with Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing.
Devishly Good Chocolate Cake, filled with Non-Dairy Raspberry Cream filling, frosted with Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing.
Just made these two recently and got RAVE reviews on both flavors.

Most of my recipes are guarded family secrets (I promised my mom I would never share outside the family...)

But I can say that "my" peppermint buttercream is just a basic buttercream (real butter, powdered sugar and pure vanilla and that's it!) with peppermint flavoring added, and sometimes a ticky of peppermint schnapps (although I personally don't drink, and dont like the taste...I have had it requested and have gotten rave reviews)

I go by taste...add a drop, taste, add another drop...

Same with lemon buttercream. I make a standard buttercream and add freshly squeezed lemon juice until it tastes lemon-y enough. Lemons are harder to gauage because their flavor depends so much on the season, but I know I usually squeeze at least a 1/4 cup per pound of sugar.
