Wedding cake?

What's the best way to go about making a wedding cake when the wife prefers vanilla and the husband prefers chocolate? I'm making a small one for my best friends friends who are renuing their wedding vows. It is going to be a surprise. I was thinking of doing a small three tier cake but making it to where one side was chocolate and the other vanilla. I am also thinking of doing a butter cream frosting but it might be too rich. I would like to do two small 2 tier wedding cakes but I on a budget. Any suggetions?

  1. Whate about doing a marble cake with both chocolate and vanilla? You said you both prefer the opposite so Im guessing that means you like the other kind too. This way everbody can get the best of both worlds.
  2. Make the bottom tier chocolate and the top two tiers vanilla (or vice versa.) That's a very nice thing for you to do for your friends!
  3. half and half!


    or, just get strawberry. then you BOTH have to STFU and like it.
  4. Make it both!
  5. Its really HER wedding so you have to make what SHE wants! The husband is just there to pay the bills.
  6. maybe vanilla cake with chocolate frosting or vice versa.
  7. Do what you came up with. Make a vanilla cake and a chocolate cake then cut them down the middle and take the vanilla cake and the chocolate cake and put them together and while you're at it use cream cheese feeling that would balance it out but butter cream is also good.
  8. My fiance is also making our wedding cake. But she's going to make wedding cupcakes and decorate them all nicely. That way you can have either flavour also. Good luck with making the cake.
  9. Well, it is 2 tiered so I would do one tier chocolate and the other vanilla.
  10. If you do half and half do one layer white and one layer chocolate, DO NOT cut the cake down the middle, if it is warm out or someone knocks into the table your cake might come into and fall apart, (I have seen this happen). The big thing around here anymore is a cupcake wedding cake. Use your tiers like you were going to for the 3 layer cake but put cupcakes on them, you can really dress them up. And you can do as many flavors as you wish, its not as messy, you dont have to worry about having someone to cut the cake.

  11. Have a vanilla main cake but have a chocolate "groom's cake". They're pretty popular these days.

    My husband hates cake so we had vanilla wedding cake and a cheesecake as the groom's cake.
  12. Can't you do one tier white and the other chocolate and so forth
  13. Do a layered cake...one layer chocolate and one layer vanilla with frosting in between. They can eat the layer they like and share the other layer with their spouse.

    Do 2 separate cakes...put "Her wedding cake" on one and "His wedding cake" on the other.

    Good luck!!
  14. get two or 3 round cake pans..mix the chocolate cake in one bowl and the vanilla in another...take two pastry bags or use two gallon size zip lock bags..put the vanilla mix in one and the chocolate mix in the other..snip the end off one at a time, go in a circle around the pan with one mix, then right next to it do the same with the other mix..alternate until the pan is full, then move on to the next pan, but this time start with the opposite one you started with on the first pan. It comes out looking like a checkerboard..it's really neat!!
  15. I'd do wedding cupcakes half chocolate and half Vanilla. that way they can each have what they want. good luck
  16. If you wanted to do two cakes you could get those foam cake forms that you just ice to look like a cake. Then you just have to actually make one layer of cake. One chocolate one vanilla. Presto! Decorating doesn't have to be expensive either. Keep it simple. Go outside and pick some nice flowers for decorations. Be creative. Good Luck.
  17. Get a cake that's half and half or find a cake that yell to like
  18. If you're tiering the cake, what about making one tier vanilla and the other tier chocolate, instead of splitting each tier in half?
  19. why not do each layer in a different flavor. That is done all the time. and when they cut the cake they can make two slices one of vannilla for the husband to feed the wife and one of chocolate for the wife to feed to the husband. Nothing says it has to be one slice. Besides this will give the photographer more chances to get a better shot.

    good luck
  20. I have been to weddings where there have been up to 7 different flavors of wedding cake. I see nothing wrong with makeing a 2 layer weding cake. One vanilla and one chocolate. Go to alll rerceipes and ask for a royal wedding iceing. It is made with powdered sugar, crisco, milk and vanilla. Very simple to make and easy to work with.
  21. Make one cake vanilla and the other chocolate if you are doing two small cakes.

    OR

    Make the bottom tier of a three-tier chocolate, and the top two tiers vanilla.

    Just divide it up.
  22. I'd make one layer chocolate, one layer vanilla and marble a layer. Go with smaller rounds to move up to a three tier. That's what I'd do...
  23. do a tier of each
  24. Do a Bride's vanilla cake and do a Groom's chocolate cake
  25. It's allot more work, but, have you considered a checkered cake?
