What flavor cake should I make for Valentines Day?!


Question: What flavor cake should I make for Valentines Day?
I'm making and decorating a cake for Valentine's day. It's one of the things I love to do. It's going to be a red hard shape with pink piping around the bottle and a flower decoration on the top. But I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of cake to make. What flavor of cakes (white, chocolate, yellow, red velvet, angel food cake, etc) and or fillings for cakes (strawberry, pudding, etc) will be good for Valentine's day?

Ummmm, I have a couple cute ideas.

Red velvet with chocolate pudding.
Angel food cake with strawberry filling.
Chocolate with strawberry filling.

Either would work just fine. I would perffer the top 2.

creativity?



My all-time favorite is Strawberry Shortcake. Use vanilla/angel food, with strawberries, custard and whipped cream/cream substitute.
