Chocolate Cakes For Fall Weddings






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!
It used to be that all you ever saw were white wedding cakes. Brides were afraid to stray from the traditional, and their bakers were not particularly creative. All of that has changed. These days, the cake is one the key focal points of a wedding. In fact, many a bride has been known to design her entire wedding scheme around the look of her dream cake.
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.

Scrumptious Seaside Wedding Cakes





Scrumptious Seaside Wedding Cakes

Whether you are having a wedding by the ocean or just love the water, there are all sorts of fantastic ideas for seaside themed wedding cakes. From classic to whimsical to nautical, there is a cake available to suit any style of wedding. These are some ideas for scrumptious seaside cakes for your wedding.
One of the best motifs to use on a seaside cake is a seashell. Shells can be done in all sorts of ways. If you want an understated hint of oceana for your cake, think about a white on white seashell design. An elegant variation on this is blush pink shells tinged with gold edges. The most formal arrangement is to have the shells evenly spaced on each tier of the cake; if your style is a bit more modern, opt to have a variety of sugar shells cascading down the side of your cake.
An accent that works really well with shells is pearls. Especially if the bride is wearing a set of pearl bridal jewelry, it would be a fun touch to have a frosting oyster open to reveal a "pearl" as part of the cake design. You can also run with the theme by having strands of sugar pearl bridal jewelry wrapped around the base of each cake tier.
