My cake flavor list is forever a work in progress, and currently I'm trying to develop a 'top shelf' list (ie cakes with liquor). I try to offer very different, unusual flavors, as I seem to have a lot of customers who really appreciate being able to choose something out of the norm.
So, I have a few ideas already. Some I've tried, some I haven't. I'll list those here, but if anyone has any suggestions of something you've made, had, or would like to try - PLEASE share! I know everyone here is very creative!
Here's what I've come up with so far (remember, I'm going for the unexpected here!):
Orange Galliano cake (aka The Harvey Wallbanger)
-made with vodka, orange juice and Galliano liqueur
Baileys Buttershots cake
-made with Irish Cream and Butterscotch schnapps
Campari cocktail cake
-made with grapefruit and blood orange juices and Campari
Pink Champagne cake
-made with, of course, pink champagne
Green Fairy cake
-made with Pernod (an anise-flavored decendant of absinthe)
Grasshopper cake
-made with Creme de Menthe and Creme de Cacao
Margarita cake
-made with Tequila, Triple Sec and lime juice
Any suggestions for other flavors are more than welcome!

I love the idea of Pina Colada (thank you, Squirrley for the recipe!), White Russian and Strawberry Daiquiri cakes! How does Disaronno Chocolate cake sound?

hehehe... as soon as I get my recipes tweaked to perfection, I will post them to this site!
redhotmomof3: watch out what you ask for, I may just take you up on that offer!
cindy6250: yes, just my basic white cake as a base - I haven't tried all of these recipes YET, but they should all be sturdy enough for carving (PS - wanna join the tasting party?) 
well, I'm getting alittle tipsy just reading through the posts!!
would love to see the recipes for these cakes!
Has anyone ever had Blackberry wine cake? It is really good. I had some last year at Christmas.
It's a very deep red color and had the wine in the cake and the glaze that was poured on top. Don't know how it would do for a layer cake though, as it is very moist.

I, for one, and very glad it is Friday because I am getting thirsty! Adventurous will come next, so I'll have to test out a recipe or two...how about a chocolate and wine cake?? any idea on how to achieve such a thing?
These all sound delish!!! I think I have to make a stop at the liquor store!!!
I use some type of liquor in almost all of my baking...my favorites are Disorrona, peach schnapps and butterscotch schnapps...I also use the butterscotch in my peanut butter cookies...it gives them a more creamy smooth feel...if that makes sense...
Just reading this post blew my diet!!!! Actually, I'm going to a wine fest this weekend. One of the vineyards makes some awesome wines with peaches, raspberries and blueberries. So if you do figure out how to do the wine cake - let us know!!!
