Yep. It was cut and pasted from my website, and the asterisks are "favorite" flavors from last year.

Holy mother of cake, guys! What a list! Is there some way I can save this thread, do you know? Whike I cannot begin to wrap my head around that ginormous number of offerings, this will come in handy for inspiration when I feel stuck in my five-flavors-six-fillings rut. Thanks so much for being so generous as to share your lists!!!

PS I'm serious, if anybody knows a way to save this thread to my preferences!

At the bottom of this thread, where you can hit, post reply, you can hit "Watch this Topic for Replies". That will add it to your Watched Topics, which you can reach at the top of this page where it says, Search, Buddy List, Ignore List, Watched Topics, etc. That's what I do.
OR you can copy and paste it and save the lists to your Word program on your computer, which is what I just did with the first list here. I'm at this moment going through and seeing if I want to add some of MacsMom's cake flavors. What a list! Zowie

Now that you've replied to it, it will automatically be saved in your 'watched topics' folder. Or, I would suggest you copy/paste into a word file so that you can access it if the site is down, or the thread were to be lost or something!!

If you go to the homepage and click on "my forum posts" this thread should be listed. But when you want to find it later you may have to sroll through several pages since every single one of your posts is saved! At least, that's the only way I know of.
When I see something I want save, I usually just copy/paste into a Word Document on my computer.

The ones I post to don't automatically go into my Watched Topics. Is that an option I need to click in my Forum Info?

wow thanks everybody for these great flavor combo ideas! one i have that i haven't seen yet is the cosmo-vodka syrup on cranberry cake with lime infused buttercream filling. popular last year with the SITC movie. another filling that goes well with a spice cake that you don't hear very often is pear puree which is also delicious sprinkled with a some mini choc chips.
macmom-you are right about the dreamsicle being a huge favorite. it's one of my most requested and the last tiered cake i did it was the first tier to be completely devoured.

i have no idea how that quote got in my post?????? my 3 yr old son must have hit something on my keyboard, lol funny cos i've wanted to do it before but didn't know how. still don't.
I use the WASC recipe as my base and start substituting from there: Flavored coffee creamers, juices, liquers, thawed frozen margarita concentrate, coffee, melted ice-cream, flavored yogurts in place of sour cream, pudding mixes, LoRann flavored oils...
Thanks so much for sharing all the details ~! You have saved us all hours, I hope we do your flavors justice!

Some brides mags I've seen lately have been pushing the more gourmet flavors, so maybe customers will branch out more. I've seen more of these kind of things...
White cake with apricot and pistachio fillings.
Lemon with pomegranate filling
Coconut with key lime

If you look at the post you want to quote, in the upper right corner of that post is a button that says, 'quote'. Simply click that, then type UNDER the text that appears.
