With many brides choosing to replace their traditional white wedding cake with a delicious chocolate cake, brides are looking for new, innovative ways to include chocolate in their day. From stylish naked cakes to Instagram-worthy cake pops, there are endless options for the chocoholic bride. If you can't stop thinking about mouth-watering chocolate cakes which ooze with luxury, then here's all the inspiration you need to pick the chocolate cake of your dreams.

Classic

Sometimes, you can't beat a classic. Serve your guests a chocolate take on a traditional wedding cake, complete with tiers and a delicate cake topper. So, if you're getting married in the summer, we recommend storing your cake in a cool place as chocolate icing has a tendency to melt in hot weather!

Naked Cakes

This trendy idea has risen in popularity over the last few years, with more and more brides opting for delicious naked cakes on their big day. This idea will show off the delicious chocolatey sponge and you won't have to worry about icing melting! Adorn your cake with a gorgeous cake topper, or decorate it with flowers like this nearly-naked cake by Hayley's Cake Studio.

Cake Pops

This Instragram-ready cake idea is a popular idea for trendy brides who want something fun and delicious. Serve these as canapés as your guests sip their drinks for an added bit of chocolate indulgence throughout the day. If your wedding has a specific colour scheme, why not dip your chocolate cake pops in matching sprinkles?

Fruity Flavours

Give your chocolate cake a fruity twist with strawberries, cherries or raspberries. These classic combinations are a brilliant way to take your wedding cake to the next level. Especially great for Spring/Summer weddings, fruit is the perfect addition to any cake and is guaranteed to go down a storm with your guests. We love this strawberry and chocolate ganache creation by All Cakes and Sizes.
