Let’s settle the debate... what’s the ultimate wedding cake flavour?

From rich chocolate and classic vanilla to lemon curd, raspberry white chocolate, or even a cheeky carrot cake – wedding cakes these days are as creative (and delicious) as the couples who choose them!

If it were your big day, what flavour would you choose – or would you ditch the cake for another sweet treat? 🎂👇
