Wedding Cake Creamer Recipe

Wedding cake creamer is a sweet coffee creamer flavoured like white wedding cake: vanilla with a little almond. To make it, whisk a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk with a cup and a half of milk, two teaspoons of vanilla extract and half a teaspoon of almond extract. It takes five minutes, needs no cooking and makes about two and three quarter cups.

What wedding cake flavour means

In the United States most wedding cakes of the later 20th century were white or yellow cakes, according to Wikipedia's article on the tradition; before that the wedding cake was a fruitcake. The flavour sold under the name follows the white cake.

There is a bottled version. In February 2025 International Delight brought out a Wedding Cake creamer in a tie-in with the series Love Is Blind. Sporked's reviewer found notes of vanilla wedding cake in it and remarked that such a cake typically has an almond flavour as well. The recipe here is not a copy of that product. It is a plain homemade creamer built on the same two flavours.

Calculated from the ingredient quantities above using the USDA FoodData Central database, then divided by the number of servings. It is an estimate and will vary with the exact products you use.

Almond extract by the half teaspoon

Almond extract is much stronger than vanilla extract, which is why the recipe uses a quarter as much. Measure it over the sink, not over the bowl; a spill cannot be taken back out.

Clear vanilla extract keeps the creamer white. Ordinary brown extract tints it ivory and changes nothing else.

Milk, half-and-half or cream

The cup and a half of milk can be swapped for something richer. By USDA's figures the choice changes the calories in a serving of two tablespoons like this:

Made with	Calories per 2 tablespoons
Whole milk	about 70
Half-and-half	about 80
Heavy cream	about 115

Oat or almond milk work too. The creamer is then thinner, and it is not dairy-free, since the condensed milk is milk.

How long it keeps

The creamer keeps as long as the milk it was made from: go by the date on the carton, and no longer than ten days. The condensed milk settles, so shake the bottle before pouring.

It is sweet enough that the coffee needs no sugar. For a less sweet creamer made from milk, cream and sugar, see the Dunkin' Extra Extra creamer.

Other cake and dessert creamers

The confetti birthday cake creamer is the birthday counterpart, and the chocolate covered strawberry creamer is another dessert flavour. For a creamer that froths into a cold foam, see the cold foam creamer.
