Chocolate cake for your wedding?
For a less conventional wedding cake, consider chocolate. Although it's a beloved flavor, chocolate frostings and fondants are often overlooked for paler, pastel colors. Give our gallery a look for some delicious inspiration.

Hidden beneath a gentle flurry of bittersweet chocolate curls are three tiers of mocha spice cake made tender with sour cream.

This tower of truffles is inspired by the croquembouche, the traditional French wedding cake.

Five tiers of dense double-chocolate brownies are glazed with caramel and trimmed with candied pecans.
Chocolate Faux Bois ( photo 4 )
Faux bois, French for "fake wood," is a lovely decorative motif. A wood-graining tool creates the white chocolate markings on bittersweet chocolate panels; they're then pressed into the chocolate ganache that envelops the cake.
Marble Cake ( photo 5 )
Bakers have been swirling dark and light batters together for more than a hundred years. Here, marbleized fondant hints at the cake's interior and covers a layer of buttercream frosting.
Chocolate Chestnut ( photo 6 )
This rich chocolate and chestnut cake is reminiscent of roasted chestnuts by the fire, making it perfect for a winter wedding. Decorated with sugared fruit and laurel leaves, it's great for both fall and winter -- you don't have to worry about using flowers that may not be in season during colder months
