Ways to use this list
- Bake-off with friends: each baker spins a flavour, then taps Fillings and spins again, and the cake must use both.
- Wedding tasting shortlist: spin Wedding classics three times to choose which samples to ask the baker for.
- School fair cupcake stall: spin four flavours so the table has variety, then label each tray with its ingredients.
- Birthday surprise: let the birthday child spin a week ahead, so there is time to buy everything the cake needs.
- Baking club year: one new flavour a month with Remove the winner on, so nobody bakes vanilla twice.

Questions people ask
Which fillings go with which cake flavors?
Pairings that rarely fail: vanilla with raspberry jam and buttercream, chocolate with ganache or salted caramel, lemon with lemon curd, carrot and red velvet with cream cheese frosting, and coffee with coffee buttercream and walnuts.
What are the most popular wedding cake flavors?
Vanilla, chocolate, lemon and red velvet come up again and again, with fruity sponges such as lemon and blueberry close behind. Many couples choose a different flavour for each tier so every guest finds one they like.
What is the difference between red velvet and chocolate cake?
Red velvet uses only a little cocoa, plus buttermilk and a splash of vinegar, which give it a soft, slightly tangy crumb. It is coloured red and almost always topped with cream cheese frosting, while chocolate cake is rich and dark all the way through.
What is a Victoria sponge?
A classic British cake of two light butter sponges sandwiched with raspberry jam and buttercream or whipped cream, with caster sugar dusted on top. It is named after Queen Victoria, who is said to have enjoyed a slice with afternoon tea.
What is hummingbird cake?
A layer cake made with mashed banana, crushed pineapple and chopped pecans, finished with cream cheese frosting. It began in Jamaica and became a favourite in the American South, and it stays moist for days.
