I must admit, I’m a bit of a traditionalist at heart, and I wanted to have a beautiful traditional wedding. I wanted a huge white wedding dress, my dad to walk me down the aisle, and everything that went along with it. I have to admit though, I I nearly faltered when I started planning for our wedding cakes, and what kind of cake they would be. Let me explain. I love chocolate, and I can’t plain white cake. Really, even birthday cake…if it’s not chocolate than I really don’t want a piece of it. It’s crazy, but I guess it’s a girl thing or something. So, when it came to planning our wedding cake flavors, I really didn’t want a plain white wedding cake. I wanted my husband’s groom cake instead, chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate covered strawberries. My husband, by the way, hates chocolate. It’s a crazy mixed up world we live in, isn’t it? And then I wondered, ar chocolate wedding cakes for brides even possible? Turns out, the answer is YES!
