Many now offer choices like raspberry filling, mimosa, mint and so many more! Ask your baker what are their cake/filling combos and which ones are the most requested. Have them include a few of their popular choices when you to your cake testing.

What beautiful cakes you’ve pictured here. My friend is also a baker, and she makes some of the most amazing things with fondant. One of the cakes she made looked exactly like a running shoe, down to the weave on the laces. There are lots of fun flavors and fillings to choose from these days, but I’ll take chocolate cake with chocolate frosting any time.
