While fondant may be the cake artist’s favourite medium of the moment, we simply can’t abandon our love affair with luxurious chocolate wedding cakes and occasion cakes here at Cake Geek Magazine.

Showing you why, we’ve put together a selection of some of the most sophisticated chocolate wedding cake art, perfect for late autumn and winter weddings.

Our feature cake above showcases an array of late autumn sugar flowers in mauve and purples set against a dark chocolate finish for a stunning chocolate wedding cake above by leading Swedish designer, Lina Veber.
