Chocolate on Chocolate Cake<\/h2>\n

While an ethereal white cake may be a popular choice for bridal showers, engagement parties and weddings, we know that some couples just prefer chocolate.<\/p>\n

At your celebration, don\u2019t be shy: Layer on the cocoa! Go for chocolate buttercream<\/a>, chocolate curls<\/a> and even crushed chocolate candies. This decadent mocha cake<\/a> uses chocolate-covered coffee beans<\/a> as decoration.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Naked Cake<\/h2>\n

While nothing will ever replace a highly decorated wedding cake, there is something to be said about the growing appeal of naked cakes<\/a>. These cakes are lightly frosted on the outside, which allows your guests to see through to the layers of cake inside.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about this style for your wedding day, giving this cake a test run during an engagement party<\/a> is a great idea.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
