Almond wedding cakeWhite cake perfumed with almond extract and finely ground almonds, delicate and fragrant, long a classic choice for wedding tiers.

Fillings

Fresh strawberries & creamSliced ripe strawberries set into whipped cream between layers, juicy and light; best for cakes served within a day of pickup.
Salted caramelSlow-cooked caramel with a pinch of sea salt, thick and buttery, often piped inside a buttercream dam to keep layers neat.
Cookies & cream mousseWhipped vanilla mousse folded with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, giving a speckled look and soft crunch between layers.
Cannoli creamSweetened ricotta with mini chocolate chips and a hint of orange zest, borrowed from the Sicilian pastry shop.

Frostings & finishes

American buttercreamWhipped butter and powdered sugar frosting, sweet and fluffy, easy to tint and pipe into borders, rosettes and lettering.
Swiss meringue buttercreamSatiny frosting made by whipping cooked egg whites and sugar with butter; less sugary and smooth enough for razor-sharp edges.
