1. Sweet And Simple Cake

 

 

A chocolate cake is far from dull and boring, and hence, you can easily get away with a basic design. There’s nothing wrong with keeping it simple and totally owning it. You can get yourself a basic two-tier chocolate ganache wedding cake and top it off with colorful, fresh flowers and a cake topper. You can also pair a few berries with the blossoms. Believe us, such kinds of cakes look effortless yet beautiful. 

 

2. Design A Cake With Macaroons

 

For all the sweet tooth couples who think chocolate isn't enough to curb their craving, they can top it off with a few pretty pastel macaroons. Adding macaroons will heighten the visual experience of the cake and make it more pleasing to the eyes. So, if you want to get yourself a show-stopper on your big day, then design your chocolate cake with colored macaroons. 

 

3. Add Fun Topper

 

 

Now making a bold statement is way easier with an over-the-top cake topper. Today there are fun, elegant, and eye-pleasing cake toppers for every style, theme, and budget. You can pick any toppers that match your wedding theme and go with your budget. Adding a different topper than usual ‘Mr. & Mrs.’ toppers will take your cake a step ahead in making a statement. Without a doubt, a fun topper on the cake is nothing short of show-stopping. 

 

4. Go For A Hand Painted Masterpiece

 

A chocolate cake with handpainted detailing is one of the best ways to turn your cake into a beautiful statement. There are plenty of handprinted designs that add elegance to cocoa creation and make it look pleasing to the crowd. For a hand-painted masterpiece, you can go for a floral design, pretty crests, punchy fruit details, or even full-blown portraits. Having such a cake on your wedding day will surely impress the guests. 

 

5. Top Your Cake With Plenty Of Fruits

 

 

Nothing can be better than adding fresh fruits to your chocolate wedding cake. While a simple cake is certainly not boring, adding fruits will take it to another level. Whether you opt for a simple cake or dripping chocolate, you can never go wrong with fruits on it. You can either get fruits decorated on the top of the cake or ask your baker to add fruit extract to the cake and icing to give it more flavors. 

 

6. Go For Caramel Or Chocolate Drip

 

Drip cakes are a popular fad that isn't going anywhere. Incorporating a drip into your wedding cake is another way of making your cake look outstanding and taste delicious at the same time. For a drip, you can either go for a chocolate version or pair your chocolate cake with another flavor like caramel. This will not just embrace the look of your cake but will also make it taste better.

 

7. Build With Classy Colors

 

 

While everyone thinks of a chocolate cake as a brown-colored cake, in reality, it can be of any color of your interest. Yes, you can definitely ask the baker to bake your chocolate wedding cake with any color in mind. Now that you are planning to go out-of-the-box with chocolate-flavored cake on your D-day, then why not go over the top by embracing colors. Playing with colors will not just make your cake look captivating but will also surprise your guests with chocolate inside when you cut it. 

 

8. Get A Tall Cake Or Mini Version

 

If going with a chocolate flavor is not enough, you can make a statement by designing your cake tall with more than five tiers or picking a mini version of the cake. Tall cakes look more romantic but are a bit heavy on the budget. On the other hand, mini cakes are perfect for smaller weddings and couples who don’t want to spend their fortune on a wedding cake. 

 

9. Go For Fondant Cake

 

 

Fondant cakes are a relatively new addition to the market but have managed to capture a significant share. Such chocolate cakes are a complete surprise when you cut them into slices. You can ask the baker to cover your cake with your choice of fondant and ask them to make designs to the next level. You can add bold, beautiful designs and make your wedding cake a topic for discussion for everyone. 

 

10. Serve Multiple Flavors

 

While chocolate is an excellent flavor for a wedding cake, it is not liked by all. It is not a universal flavor, and hence, you must stay conscious while choosing this rich dessert as your wedding day cake flavor. To make everyone fall in love with the cake, you can pick different flavors. If you add one tier of chocolate, you can have another classic vanilla flavor or other. This will ensure that everyone will enjoy the sweet treat at your wedding.
