Chocolate Wedding Cake with Sugar Flowers

Until recently I never would have considered chocolate frosting on a wedding cake.
Don’t get me wrong – I love chocolate – but I always thought wedding cakes “had to” be frosted with white icing of some kind whether it’s fondant or buttercream.
Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve changed my mind and if I had to do my wedding cake over, it would be all chocolate.
As today’s cake proves, a wedding cake with chocolate icing can be beautiful and elegant and downright stunning. Read More
Chocolate Wedding Cake with Pink Blossoms

In just a few days we’ll all be celebrating true love by gifting boxes of chocolate, so this seems like the perfect time to think about a chocolate wedding cake!
And since pink is one of those “traditional” Valentine’s Day colors, I just had to look for a wedding cake that had something pink featured on it.
This chocolate wedding cake with tiny pink cherry blossoms fits the bill perfectly I think. Read More
Chocolate Wedding Cake with Fruit and Chestnuts

It's around this time of year when I really start to feel the “Christmas spirit” and so I wanted to find a wedding cake that felt like the holidays.
I think this one comes pretty close.
When I saw this cake with the sugared fruit and candied chestnuts I immediately thought of 'sugar plum fairies' and 'chestnuts roasting by the open fire.'
Another reason I love this cake – it's' chocolate. And we all know you can never have too much chocolate cake, even at a wedding. Read More
Chocolate Ganache Wedding Cake

So here we are a week after Halloween and I still have chocolate, chocolate, chocolate on the brain! Admittedly that might have something to do with the three bowls of candy in my house.
Whatever the reason, I had to find a cake today that was all about the chocolate and would you look at this beauty?!
This three-tier cake looks like it is dripping with chocolate ganache. Really, what could be better than that? Read More
Chocolate Scrollwork Wedding Cake

Did you know today is National Chocolate Day?
As a lifelong fan of all things chocolate, I will admit that I am definitely a fan of the “including chocolate in your wedding cake” trend that I have been seeing lately.
Sure, anyone can have a chocolate tier or two (or four) in their multi-tiered wedding cake, but I'm talking about having chocolate front and center on your wedding cake.
Take this cake for example.
It doesn't matter what flavor cake is inside, we have chocolate on the outside! Read More
Chocolate Wedding Cake with Geraniums

Do you ever get in one of those moods when all you can think is “Chocolate! I need chocolate!”?

Will you look at this gorgeous cake?
What I wouldn't give for a slice of that right about now.

White Chocolate Leaves Wedding Cake

There must be something in the air this week as I’m still slightly obsessing over all things fall.
And while this cake would look great at any time of year – but would look amazing in the fall – I had to share it with you.
I found this cake while searching “DIY decorations” and perhaps a DIY wedding is not in the cards for you. However, I’m sure your baker could create some lovely leaves to wrap around your wedding cake. Read More
Marble Chocolate and Mocha Wedding Cake

Chocolate and coffee – is there anything better than these two flavors? I think not.
Which is why I just had to feature this cake today – it's a marble chocolate and mocha cake with a marbleized fondant. It's such a pretty – and unique – cake that I couldn't resist sharing it with you!
The four-tiered cake features alternate layers of chocolate marble and mocha marble. And as good as chocolate and coffee are as separate flavors, you know when they're combined to make mocha it's that much better! Read More

We are off to Read More
Homespun Wedding Cake

Don’t you just want to grab a cup of coffee or a glass of ice cold milk and dig right into this baby?
Lots of cakes that we feature are all about the looks. And so often, I almost can’t imagine cutting into them because of the hours and hours of work they took to make. But this cake invites you to get comfortable and cut a big ole’ slab!
If I had to guess (and I do, since I know not who made the cake or what the flavors are) I would say that we have here layers of Read More
