I've never made a marble cake before, aside from the boxed kind. I ust had a request for a wedding cake done with different layers - one a lemon marble and the other a lemon marble. Has anyone ever heard of this before and, if so, how is it done? Since the cake is going to be stacked, I don't want to use a regular mix as it needs to be sturdier.

you have written lemon marble twice...what's the other kind? I marble cakes a lot, it's not that difficult. What you can do is make your cake batter, and then set aside half. Then add in the lemon extract or oil and tint that half a yellow color (that'll get the "lemon" across more) and give you the marble look. Then marble like you do the box mix. You can do the same with your other flavor as well. Hope this helps.

What are the strawberry and lemon marbled with? White or chocolate? or another flavor?

My personal preference is to make up two different cake mixes of each flavor. Then I drop spoon fulls in and then swirl together the two different flavors.
