Chocolate Wedding Cakes


by Melinda Barton

For cocoa lovers, here are the top 5 trends of chocolate wedding cakes. Original and tasty ideas for any sweet couple…

Trend #1 – Classic and Smart

The “classic” chocolate wedding cake can either be made of superposed pieces or set up on cake stands. The superposed version will allow you to easily practice the “cake cutting” ritual, while stands can give a very aesthetic aspect.

Trend #2 – The Cup Cakes Paradise

Cup cakes will allow you to vary the flavours, while offering a nice mix of colors to the eyes of your guests. They are also cheaper than classic wedding cakes. Cup cakes covered with chocolate syrup are simply gorgeous.

Trend #3 – Mix It Up!

Your cake doesn’t need to be 100% chocolate. Chocolate can be within the cake itself, the cream, the topping and decorations. Also, any cakes mixing chocolate with vanilla or fruits are definitely winners.

Trend #4 – Chocolate Croquembouches

Croquembouches are commonly used in traditional French wedding cakes. Think of a pyramid of small puffs filled with cream and covered with icing. Chocolate can be included in any or both of those parts. Definitely trendy, simply delicious.

Trend #5 – The Chocolate Festival

Don’t forget there’s more than one kind of chocolate. By mixing dark and white chocolates on cake, you’ll definitely catch the eye of your guests. You can also combine this trend with cup cakes or croquembouches for a very special (and tasty) dessert.

These are my top 5 chocolate wedding cakes ideas. As creativity is an essential part of your dream day, I hope they do give you some nice inspiration.

I wish you a wonderful wedding.
