I'm making a wedding cake and I love using liqueur to flavor syrup brushed on. However, it's a white cake, so dark liqueurs don't look fantastic. I know there's triple sec and cointreau, kirsch and it's related fruit cousins, white creme de cacao. Any other suggestions? Is there a clear coffee flavored liqueur?

Could be tricky to blend with other flavors, but an anisette flavored liqueur like Sambuca could be interesting...

I have no idea how it would go with chocolate; but perhaps could be interesting with some fruit flavors--strawberries, raspberries, figs, pineapples...

This is probably too far out for a wedding cake; but it may be interesting to try another time... :smile:

"Under the dusty almond trees, ... stalls were set up which sold banana liquor, rolls, blood puddings, chopped fried meat, meat pies, sausage, yucca breads, crullers, buns, corn breads, puff pastes, longanizas, tripes, coconut nougats, rum toddies, along with all sorts of trifles, gewgaws, trinkets, and knickknacks, and cockfights and lottery tickets."

-- Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 1962 "Big Mama's Funeral"

This is hard to find now, but I'd look at flavoured vodkas -- in particular: Stolichnaya Kafka. It was a clear and coffee flavoured.
