I'm interested to see what are people's most popular cakes? With weddings, it seems to be pretty popular to get the plain fondant with ribbon at the base of each tier...but what else is trendy with you personally or in your observation? What are your most popular cake shapes? What about cake flavors?

Please post photos or links, if you feel inclined!

I'm just curious because I hope I'm not missing anything and wonder if it varies from place to place and maybe each decorator has a signature design or flavor

Thanks alot. I'm also wanting to put some more things on my to-do list. Amazingly enough, since I started a to-do list, it has gotten shorter I recommend this for anyone because if someone gives me free reign on a design, I go to the to-do list and pick something out

My most popular flavor, for weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, etc, is White Velvet Cake (which is really just the Enhanced Cake Formula recipe from here) and my own raspberry filling at www.cakeboss.com/raspberryfilling.aspx .

Most popular design - simple 3-tiers, no decoration, and fresh flowers.

I do a lot of "rose baskets" with roses on top and basket weave on the bottom. I also do a lot of presant cakes....But I try to stay away from doing "same old" and I'll only do a cake if it's different...no help right?

With wedding cakes, my most popular is fruit with flowers cascading over it. with birthdays it has to be sponge with sugarpaste covering.
