Chocolate Cakes for Fall Weddings

Fall weddings are all about enjoying the warmth and richness of the season. Unlike a summer wedding, when food should be light and refreshing, in the autumn, you can indulge in richer flavors. And when it comes to a rich wedding cake, this can only mean one thing: chocolate!

Many people absolutely love chocolate, and want to use it instead of the classic white wedding cake. At some times of the year, brides are more likely to hide the chocolate cake under white or pastel frosting, or to relegate it to the groom’s cake. But in the fall, the warm color of chocolate icing is a perfect match for the colors of the season.

There are certainly a large variety of chocolate cakes from which to choose. You can go with the classic basic chocolate, or choose a more exotic flavor like chocolate fudge, mocha, or truffle. Another tasty idea is to layer a chocolate cake with a fruit filling, such as raspberry or apricot. And then there is the frosting: you can opt for the smooth-as-glass effect of fondant icing, or go for the more natural look of a buttercream based frosting.

Chocolate cakes can be created in a design to match any wedding theme. You will want to make sure that your cake coordinates with the rest of the affair.

Because the cake has become such an important style element, brides look at them almost like another accessory, like their headpiece or bridal jewelry. In fact, it is very common for brides to choose the details of their cake based on the elements of their bridal jewelry, such as using a crystal monogram as the cake topper to tie in with the crystals in their wedding jewelry.

Fall weddings often have a rustic look, and you can very easily bring that into your wedding cake. Chocolate frosting with a rougher bark-like texture makes the perfect backdrop for tiny little fall pumpkins, gourds, and flowers. These can either be real, or created from marzipan or gum paste. The tiny little sugar fruits and flowers are truly works of art.

The best part about having a chocolate cake for your fall wedding is that it will be as delicious as it is good looking. Imagine how happy your guests will be when they walk into the reception and spy the tasty chocolate wedding cake. And just think about how happy you will be when you get to share that first piece of yummy cake as husband and wife!
