Types of wedding cake filling

There are so many decisions to be made when it comes to weddings that sometimes couples can feel overwhelmed by the choices in front of them. Selecting a wedding cake for your wedding in Kent used to be a relatively easy affair as there was generally only a few choices of design, flavour and filling – all that has changed as there are now many different types of wedding cake and wedding cake businesses have become more popular. Today the choices in flavour and filling are enormous and require lots of tasty testing to finally come up with what suits your Kent wedding best. Here are descriptions of some of the most common types of wedding cake fillings:

Buttercream wedding cake filling is a creamy, light and tasty frosting made with eggs, sugar and butter. The classic buttercream is made with egg yolks while a meringue version is made with the egg whites. Both versions are very tasty and a very popular choice for weddings in Kent.

Custard and pastry cream wedding cake filling is made with milk and eggs. This delicious filling is a good choice for winter weddings in Kent or marriages held in a temperature controlled reception hall as warm temperatures will cause the filling to melt.

Ganache wedding cake filling is made from heavy cream and rich, dark chocolate. It can be used either as a filling or an icing for your wedding Cake.

Mousses or Mousseline wedding cake fillings are generally used as an alternative to buttercream. Easily flavoured with fruits or liqueurs, this dreamy filling must be served chilled for the best effect.

Fresh Fruit wedding cake filling is an easy and delicious way to complement any flavour or wedding cake. Not only can fruit be used in between the layers but it can also be used to decorate the cake.

The best wedding cake filling choice will depend on several things including your location, flavour of the cake, style and the kind of decoration you want on it. If you want a simple cake then almost any filling or frosting will do. However, if you want an elaborately decorated cake then you might not have a choice but to choose a buttercream or fondant icing.
