The Bride’s Heart

Are you one of those people who just adore chocolate?  Is your idea of heaven, being curled up on the sofa with a good book to read or a DVD to watch, whilst opening and savoring the aroma of a big and beautiful box of chocolates? Are you at your happiest when you can indulge without having to share your goodies with anyone else? Why is it that us women feel like this about chocolate?  We have no idea why, and don’t really care why …… all we know is that we do!

I would like to suggest that there is help at hand for our addictions, but there’s not, so let’s just go on enjoying to our hearts content!

There is, however, good news for all brides-to-be with regard to your favorite temptation.

There’s a range of chocolate wedding cakes available on the market to make your special day even more delicious and pleasurable.  OMG, I hear you say!  This is because up until now, you have not really been able to envisage your Wedding Day without at least some form of chocolate on the table, but you were unsure of just how you were going to go about including your favorite food on this particular occasion.

Chocolate wedding cakes come in a variety of different options.  Equally as stylish and just as sophisticated as the traditional fruit variety of wedding cake, you may choose anything from a cheesecake enhanced with chocolate to a whole cake made of truffles.    The consistencies are based primarily on the ingredients and the various blends of chocolate used.  There are cakes made from milk, plain and white chocolates, or for total bliss, a combination of each of these ingredients will have your mouth watering – yes, it is right now, just thinking about it!

I offer just one piece of advice though. On the big day, you will not be free to munch away without regard for dribbles down your clothes. Even though this may happen on an ordinary day when you are wearing normal clothes, it really would not look good for the bride to be blushing because she has chocolate all down the front of her wedding attire.  So for this reason it is necessary to exercise great care whilst taking delight in eating your chocolate cake.   (I do not believe I mentioned chocolate and exercise there in the same sentence!).  Joking apart, make sure you have napkins strategically placed to protect your wedding dress and catch any crumbs as they fall.

Chocolate in several forms is a customary dessert found in many homes and on menus in restaurants the world over.  Therefore, there is no reason at all why, if chocolate is your thing you should not have your wedding cake made of it. After all, you only intend getting married once, so cast off the idea of a traditional wedding cake, regardless of the comments your mom and long lost aunt have to make, and go for it.  You will be glad you did, and so will they when they have a taste of it!
