Parties and celebrations are incomplete without cakes. When it comes to serving cakes at your special event – there are no hard rules. You can serve any flavour that you like, designed in any shape. There is no such thing as the one, best cake flavour – it all depends on the occasion, the preferences of the guests, the event style and more.
With that said, the truth is that not all cake flavours go well together. Some flavour combinations taste better than others. Worry not, Gurgaon Bakers comes to your rescue. As the leading party cake bakers in Gurgaon, we have plenty of experience and expertise with flavour combinations. You can order cakes online and have them delivered at your doorstep anywhere in Gurgaon.
Here, in this guide, we give you the list of best cake flavours that go well together. We’ve included some traditional flavour combos – these work for all taste preferences, as well as some modern flavour combos for those who would like to experiment.
Make use of this flavour guide while choosing cakes for your upcoming birthday parties, wedding celebrations, anniversaries, house parties and other occasions.
Classic Cake Flavour Combinations that Work for All Occasions
1. Choco-chip cookie Cake
This is a classic combination that is perfect for kid’s birthday parties as well as for adults who are kids at heart. It’s moist, buttery and sprinkled with chocolate chips all over. Easy to make and easy to serve, this is a classic flavour that never fails to impress. Serve it with ice-cream for a great dessert.
2. Vanilla Almond Hazelnut Cake
This flavour combination combines the subtle sweetness of vanilla with the bittersweet caramelised nuttiness of hazelnuts and almonds. Topped with SMB (Swiss Meringue Buttercream) and crushed praline, this cake is perfect for those who don’t want over-the-top sweet desserts. It makes a good choice for weddings and anniversary celebrations.
3. Red velvet cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Okay, red velvet cake doesn’t mean your cake is loaded with a ton of artificial red flavours. Here, at Gurgaon Bakers, we use natural colouring agents like beetroot powder to give the cake its bright signature red colour. The acidic nature of the buttermilk added to the batter gives a moist, fluffy and light cake.
When the light red velvet sponge is paired with the rich cream cheese frosting, it makes for a delightful combination. The deep red colour symbolising love makes it an ideal choice for anniversary celebrations.
