Today’s featured cake would be ideal for a fall or early winter wedding.

The dark hues of the cake make it perfect for cooler late-fall days, and add a bit of drama to the dessert table.

The cake features SEVEN tiers of chocolate cake with light chocolate icing between the tiers.

The addition of the figs, blackberries, and blueberries works well with the darker hues of the cake. A few bright flower give just the right pop of color!

And, cake pops are the perfect alternative to a big and fancy wedding cake.

Sure you could still have a smallish wedding cake for the happy couple to slice – ya know, for those “slice the cake” photos! But then serve a dessert table full of sweet treats including cupcakes (mini cupcakes are so much fun), cake pops, candy, and other sweets.

These gorgeous chocolate cake pops would be ideal as a centerpiece at the dessert table. They’re decadent and elegant at the same time.

And really, everyone loves chocolate right?

It’s becoming THE thing to do – get away from the traditional white wedding cake and serve something a bit different.

Today’s featured cake would be gorgeous any time of year, but I’d love to see it in the early spring when the temperatures are still a bit chilly.

The cake features three tiers draped in dark, decadent chocolate icing, and you could choose to have different cake flavors under the icing.

A simple white flower detail is all this cake needs for a bit of added elegance. No cake topper required here.

It’s so fun and somewhat non-traditional to serve a chocolate wedding cake. (We’re talking all chocolate, not just a tier or two).

And this nearly-naked chocolate cake with a rustic vibe is a perfect cake for your early spring wedding.

We love the top and bottom “naked” tiers and the middle cake fully iced with a touch of gold. It’s dramatic and elegant and gorgeous.

And the pop of color from the greenery is all the cake needs. No cake topper here. Just simple elegance.

But today we have a perfect groom’s cake!

This naked chocolate stout cake would be the ideal cake for the groom. (Of course it would also work as a non-traditional wedding cake, but we really like the idea of a groom’s cake).

The cake is a chocolate cake made with stout, and sans icing (perfect for any groom who loves beer). The cake is filled with decadent buttercream icing and then drizzled with caramel sauce AND chocolate ganache.

And if that’s not enough, it’s also topped with candied pecans.

Now that’s a cake!

Take today’s cake.

It’s chocolate. And it’s a naked cake. But look at the scalloped icing between the tiers. Good gravy that’s gorgeous!

The cake is just two tiers, but they’re arranged in a way to make the cake look much bigger. The scalloped icing between each layer adds the perfect touch of elegance to the cake.

And it’s so pretty that you need just one oversized fresh bloom to adorn the top of the cake.

You should resolve to serve a cake this lovely at your reception this year.

Today’s featured cake is the perfect winter wedding cake in all its dark and dramatic glory!

I love the idea of chocolate wedding cakes – and even though I love chocolate icing, this rustic cake with minimal icing is lovely.

This cake would be perfect for a winter season wedding, thanks in part to the modern cake topper.

If you were thinking of having this cake at a spring or summer wedding a brighter floral component would be perfect.

Sure it might seem like a crazy idea – serving a chocolate cake with chocolate icing – but that’s why I love it!

You can’t go wrong with chocolate cake!

And if you’re looking for a festive take on your standard chocolate wedding cake, how about adding bright red flower petals to alternating tiers?

This cake uses a devil’s food cake and chocolate buttercream icing (so divine!) and then added foam tiers between the cake with red geraniums. If you don’t like that flower you could always choose red roses or another color completely.

Bright pink blooms would be stunning on this cake too!

Your guests will definitely be wowed with this chocolate confection!

To celebrate the beauty that is fall, it only seems appropriate to highlight a gorgeous and rustic fall wedding cake that incorporates a lot of fall into its look.

I love the bark-like look of the top tiers of this cake – it gives the cake a nice rustic vibe without being too harsh.

The bottom tiered features beautiful ruffled icing, giving the cake a bit of glamour.

The pops of color from the cascading berries and blooms are dark and dramatic – perfect for this season!

It really is a perfect cake for a fall wedding. And displaying the cake on a slab of wood is genius.

Because, chocolate.

I love the idea of bucking a trend – white wedding cakes – and serving something you really love. Like chocolate cake. Or at least cake with chocolate icing.

Like today’s cake – a lovely tiered cake featuring chocolate buttercream icing! It’s the perfect cake for a fall wedding.

The addition of an adorable cake topper from Pretty Pixie takes this cake over the top!

And if you aren’t a fan of white and yellow roses then by all means add some fresh blooms that are more your style.
