Any of these combinations sound fine to me. Chocolate & either strawberries/raspberries together are always good. What is popular as a filling here where I live is BC icing with customers favorite chocolate bar coursely chopped & stirred in. 2 big favorites are coconut chocolate bar & mars bar. I put a caramel bar, called Skor, chopped up in my filling. Everyone loves it. I also use a peanut butter bar called crispy crunch. SOoooo good. :o)

Asma - white chocolate and raspberries is an excellent combination.  Personally, I would put the raspberry and white chocolate filling together in all layers - more pleasing to the eye instead of just one streak of red through the middle and the raspberry will help keep the cake moist.  But that is just a personal preference.  I would keep each tier made of the same cake flavour - you can have too many flavours that will end up drowning each other and confusing the palette.

The second tier sounds fine to me - again chocolate and strawberry is a very traditional recognised flavour combination.

Thanks for the replies!

I was actually thinking that Katy Nott, but I dont want the raspberry to overpower the white chocolate. I want more of the white chocolate flavor with a bit touch of raspberry

How about adding a little bit of the preserves in the white chocolate?  Just enough to give it a hint of the fruit flavor.

Yes I am actually adding a layer of the raspberry preserve in the middle layer of the cake

Then what Goreti says is a good idea.  Just add a touch of raspberry to your white chocolate and 'swirl' it through so it doesn't overpower it?

I would switch it all around a little and do the raspberry with the ganache, and the strawberry with the white chocolate filling, strawberry is a little more subtle than raspberry and less overwhelming to the vanilla flavor of the white chocolate, where the raspberry has a good bright tartness that will compliment the ganache better.  Just my preference. :) And, I like the idea of marble throughout.

Yummm... I like your idea as well as mixing the preserves into each layer. Either way, sounds and will be delicious!
