Flavours for carrot cake layers?

Question
1

Hi everyone,

I’m getting married in October and considering making our cake since I enjoy cake decorating (I’ve taken courses and decorated for family and friends, but not for paying clients due to anxiety). I’m testing things out now, eight months ahead, to see if it’s enjoyable and stress-free. I have a reliable carrot cake recipe using pineapple instead of oil and date paste instead of sugar. It’s not overly sweet, so I’m unsure what flavors to use between layers alongside the planned cream cheese frosting. Adding pineapple or dulce de leche seems redundant. Would multiple layers with cream cheese frosting be too much? Any suggestions on balancing flavors or cutting through the sweetness?

Appreciate any advice. I can share the recipe if needed.

Thanks!

Flavours for carrot cakes layers are actually deeply moist and filled with toasted pecans and most of its flavor comes from brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and also carrots.

Every time, I use cream cheese, whipped cream, and apricot jam for the icing. I imagine zest from oranges or lemons would also be delicious.
