Wedding Cakes Go Chocolate

Chocolate wedding cake? Yum! I know, you're used to white or even pastels, but why not go with chocolate? It's rich, a little unconventional, and what I like, surprising. I like something a bit different. This chocolate petal wedding cake has a mocha spice cake under the bittersweet chocolate 'leaves.' This is one of the most striking wedding cakes I've seen.

 

 

Another cake shown on Martha's website is this chocolate chestnut wedding cake. It is topped with sugared fruit and laurel leaves, so no worry about finding in season flowers if you are having a winter wedding. Chocolate wedding cakes appeal to me for winter weddings, they're warm, rich and melt in  your mouth! Yum!

Chocolate Birds?

Looking for a unique cake? Love this green and cream cake complete with it's chocolate love birds! If you're not into a fancy cake with layers and layers of icing and thick buttercream, this pretty but simple cake is a great option for you.

It looks easy to execute for your baker (although I don't recommend baking your own wedding cake unless you have some serious experience!) 

Don't forget, you can choose you baker based on their skills. Most of them can execute your designs in custom colors.  So if you aren't doing a green cake, not to worry, just change the base icing color.  Easy!
