Let’s Talk Cakes!!

Brittany, on August 29, 2022 at 11:40 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 7

So my fiancé and I just came back from a weekend in Canmore/Banff to check out our wedding locations, try the food from the restaurant we booked for our reception and did a cake tasting!

The cake was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

We had 5 different cake flavours to try and 5 different buttercream to try. Here’s the options we tasted:

Cinnamon Brown Sugar, Vanilla, Chocolate, Lemon and Coffee cake,

Cookies and cream, raspberry, earl grey, bourbon vanilla and Salted caramel buttercream.

Darci even added a little bit of caramel ganache in the salted caramel buttercream so that was a super nice touch.

Out if the options, I really thought we were going to have a 2 tier cake with each tier being a different kind of cake and the cakes I thought we were going to choose was chocolate cake with cookie and cream buttercream and lemon cake with raspberry buttercream.

After trying 25 different combinations of cake and buttercream we were able to eliminate 2 right off the bat, which was earl grey buttercream and coffee cake. We were also able to choose a combination right off the bat.


So Tier 1 of the cake is going to be Cinnamon Brown Sugar cake with Salted caramel buttercream and Caramel ganache. This one was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. We loved it so much it was the first thing to get eaten.


Tier 2 I am still not sure about, we like either chocolate cake with cookies and cream or lemon cake with raspberry,


Tell me about your cake experiences so far with cakes!

    Our cake was italian sponge cake with 3 different cuatards. 3 custards were lemon, chocolate and mango flavours.

    Thank you! It was part of our package with our venue - they have a deal with the baker. Because of covid we had to downsize but my heart was set on that cake so we just paid the difference. For your second tier, I'd do the likely larger crowd pleasure - chocolate and with cookies and cream.

    I would totally do a 3 tier cake but the baker is pretty expensive. And your cake is gorgeous! We are going with cupcakes and a cutting cake!

    That is so cute and the sheet cake is such a great idea! I think we’re gonna do the cupcake route

    I'm incredibly picky when it comes to cake as I'm a hobby baker/cake decorator and soooo many focus on the design and the cake is horribly dry and tastes like cardboard (sorry). We were lucky to get to taste test ours too and omg.. absolutely amazing. We did the largest layer as chocolate with chocolate fudge filling, then vanilla with vanilla bean, and last lemon with coconut buttercream. The outside was all vanilla buttercream. She also designed my dream cake 😍 so yes we had a 3 tier cake for 50 people 🤣. I am so jealous of your salted caramel layer though!!! My absolute favourite.

    Not a fan of the caffeinated cakes, I see lol. I would've loved those options but maybe there's something about the way your baker made them that wasn't appealing?

    We only used a single tier for our hero cake, which was a strawberry shortcake. The other flavours we served were on a sheet cake. This way we were able to ask how many people wanted which flavour via the RSVPs and ordered a size accordingly.

    We had the most amazing experience with our cake lady! She blew our vision out of the park! Our bottom layer was vanilla with a vanilla filling and the top layer was chocolate with chocolate filling!
