You can create a wild array of options by combining various flavours so that your cake is totally tailored to your tastes, not only on the outside styling but also within, right down to the last tasty morsel. Some amazing flavour combinations are achieved with adding different fillings to a chocolate sponge, such as coffee buttercream for a gorgeous mocha or cutting through the richness of the chocolate sponge with a crisp mint, orange, pistachio or raspberry buttercream. Or keep it classic with a vanilla and cherry jam filling to create a retro black forest cake.
Fruit flavoured sponges such as peach and raspberry are complimented perfectly by a creamy vanilla, coconut or white chocolate icing and nothing quite beats a lime and coconut combination. Apple cake with a caramel icing can conjure up toffee apples without the aching teeth or almond with cherry and custard filling for a classic bakewell tart in cake form.
For the ultimate party cake you can combine flavours such as coconut and pineapple with a lime and rum icing for a Pina Colada, champagne with peach or raspberry for a delicious bellini or even a gin and tonic, lemon and lime combination. The possibilities are endless and all delicious so dive in and be adventurous with your cake!
