Q: My fiancé and I want a dark-chocolate wedding cake but some say its tacky and we should only have vanilla. What do you think?
A: Chocolate? Tacky? Never! As a bona fide chocoholic, I say if you and your fiancé have your hearts set on a dark-chocolate wedding cake then go for it. The days of just having the traditional vanilla cake with white buttercream icing are long gone. Today's cakes are fanciful, creative and definitely yummy. From devils food and cheesecake to cappuccino, mocha and mango-mousse fillings, you will find a myriad of cake flavors, fillings and icings to suit every couples individual tastes. The possibilities are endless so heed your craving and ask your baker to create your dream of a chocolate masterpiece.
