Chocolate Wedding Cakes

Chocolate wedding cakes are so popular that it might be too much to still talk about them Anyway I'm going to try to tell you why are chocolate wedding cakes so popular and why so many couples chose them to make their wedding nuptials, sweeter and sweeter.

If you ask ten persons which is their favorite sweet at least 6 will say chocolate. This is the first reason why chocolate wedding cakes are so popular. A lot of people like chocolate, so choosing chocolate as the topping for your wedding cake will make you and all your attendants thankful. It's doubtful that there will be someone who won't like the wedding cake in this case. Chocolate is universal and besides the fact that it's so good they say it makes you happy as well. So, which one of the other toppings can be a better choice? Hard to say? Then, shhh and go on with the reading.


Chocolate is sweet and tasty but you need to choose what kind of chocolate do you want for your wedding cake. There are many types of chocolate and of course the taste is different. Here are some information about chocolate wedding cakes that can make your choosing process easier:

If you are interested in a wedding cake that is made of pure chocolate, with no cocoa, you should pick marble cakes; Oreo cakes and one of the most popular options are strawberries even if there are couples that choose mint chocolate flavors.
Liquor chocolate: normal chocolate can be transformed in a sophisticated treat if you add a hint of brandy, espresso or rum.
Chocolate and nuts: adding walnuts, peanuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, or any other crunchy flavors can be delicious for your chocolate wedding cake.



Fruited chocolate: the cake and the cake's icing can be decorated with fruits extracts. In this way your cake will get a more exotic taste and flavor. The most popular options are: raspberry, orange and strawberries. Alternative chocolate cakes: instead of a whole chocolate wedding cake, couples can opt for chocolate truffle accents, chocolate pies, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate pound cake, etc.

Plain chocolate:even if there are person that say that a plain chocolate wedding cake is boring. If you ask me, a plain chocolate wedding cake is anything but boring: brown chocolate or white milk can work for any kind of tastes. If you want to be more creative you can bake a single cake with tiers of different grades of chocolate. It's going to look beautiful and natural.


If you see a white wedding cake, that doesn't mean that the cake is made of vanilla. Under the white topping it can be pure chocolate sponge or fudge cake.  Regardless the white cakes' stereotype, there are a lot of styles of chocolate wedding cakes like:

White wedding cakes with chocolate accents like chips, drizzles, buttons or swirls. The contrast looks really amazing.
Different types of chocolate indicated by different types of layers.
Any cake design you wish for. If' you've seen something that you like in a catalog, talk to your baker and show him the one that you like. He should be able to bake a chocolate one for you that would be exactly like the one you've seen.
Classic chocolate wedding cake designs with pure chocolate. If you like classic stuff, this is for you.

These styles are just some that I liked, there are lots of styles out there and you just need to trust your baker on this. The first thing you should do, when planning the way your chocolate wedding cake will look and will taste, it's that you need to find a good baker.  Try to ask for recommendations and call many bakers, schedule appointments with them and decide the one you think can understand what you want the best. You need to have good communication with our baker, in this way your chocolate wedding cake will look exactly like you want.


Chocolate wedding cakes shouldn't cost too much. Depends on how sophisticated you want your wedding cake to be.  If you go for a simple, on tier wedding cake with a nice topping the price will go down clearly, but if you want a tower wedding cake or a chocolate wedding cake with fountains in it, the price will change considerably. If you chose for a more sophisticated cake with more sophisticated decorations, the price will get higher for sure. Think about your budget before choosing your style for your wedding cake.

Besides, if you're having a theme wedding, you should respect the theme in this way you will keep the wedding in a line. Show your theme on your wedding cake as well.  Chocolate wedding cakes give you the chance to be creative and to use any kind of toppers you want. Theme weddings are fun so theme wedding cakes are fun too. Use your imagination and come up with funky and unique chocolate wedding cakes. Don't be afraid to be creative, if your attendants say:That's a funky chocolate wedding cake! Take it as a compliment! It is a nice thing to say and if this happens you should be sure that your attendants will remember your chocolate wedding cake for the time to come.

While the soon to be married couple may love chocolate, they have to think that there might be some problems with their choice. It's true, this happens very rarely, but you still need to take it into consideration. There might be attendants that are allergic to chocolate, or to nut filling, or to fruits. Ask for a list so you will know if your guests have any problem with your wedding cake's flavor choice.

If it happens to be a problem try to have maybe two wedding cakes, so the attendants that cannot eat chocolate will have some other options. Chocolate wedding cakes are usually loved by everyone, but you know that always are exceptions that have to ruin our plans. Chose to have another desert or maybe go for a vanilla tier on the chocolate wedding cake. In this way everybody will be happy!
