I like Maple frosting. Maybe a brown sugar cake with maple frosting. Yum.
Oh.. but if you are trying to please everyone I'd probably go for a white or yellow cake with a fruit filling and a chocolate frosting or ganache. Maybe butter cake, raspberry filling and chocolate ganache?
Yummo.
I think we landed on Red Velvet and buttercream. Fighting for a vanilla cheese cake filling but DH is giving me stress.
We are also offering 3 desserts.
You MUST go cream cheese frosting with Red Velvet
While I agree with you DH is against it.
I'm fighting a losing battle. His family has their heads up their butts with me doing everything and trying to keep the peace.
I almost caused WWIII last night.
Then I wouldn't go red velvet. Your guests will expect cream cheese frosting and will most likely be disappointed when they taste buttercream. I would google and show him ANY recipe and prove that that's what goes with it.
Buttercream is still good with Red Velvet, though I agree not AS good as cream cheese is. But the difference isn't big enough that I think guests would be disappointed. Cake is delicious either way! lol! If it's going to cause WWII, I'd let it go. 
Exactly why I just can't battle this.
Someone else was in charge of this party and didn't do squat..now with 8 days to go I'm in charge with not knowing budget or wishes.
The contract wasn't negotiated or executed. I'm surprised they held the room.

Re: Cake help
I wouldn't do a fruit filling if you are trying to please everyone - some people don't like it. DH won't eat his brother's wedding cake due to that  I am not a fan, but i will eat it.
I'd go more simple, chocolate or vanilla. esp. if a cake is causing a war.

we are doing a cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting. That's actually what the venue suggested.
Either way everyone will love it.
It's the freakin garden city hotel for pete's sake...how bad can it be?
