A few weeks ago I had my first cake tasting party! I know most of you can tell the purpose of the party from its name, but for those slower ones...I wanted to have this party to give people the opportunity to actually taste some of my cakes. A lot of you have seen pictures of my cakes but it's a whole different story when you get to actually taste them! There was a great turn out and I am so glad so many were able to make it.
I spent some time contemplating how exactly I should host this party. My original plan was to pick which flavors of cake and frosting I thought went best together and already have the cake frosted. But, with the helpful hint of my lovely hubby, I decided to allow my guests to pair together whatever flavors of cake and frosting they chose. I had five different cake flavors to choose from (chocolate, carrot, s'more, almond, and mint melt away) and seven frostings (vanilla, orange, cappuccino, peanut butter and raspberry buttercreams, marshmallow fluff and cream cheese).
While I did have a list of "popular pairings", I didn't want to limit my guests to what they could try. It was interesting to see the different flavors that people mixed. Some unusual, and some I might actually consider selling! :)
I think the most popular flavors were the s'mores cake with marshmallow frosting and the mint melt away cake pops! If you missed this delicious party, don't worry, there will be more in the near future. Of course, I can always do a personal cake tasting for anyone interested in purchasing a cake. Also, make sure to take the poll to the right on which cake flavor is a MUST for my next party!

eat dessert first
