Aqua and White Marbleized White Chocolate Wedding CakeI love showing you something a little funky and off the beaten, trendy wedding path from time to time. This beautiful cake is neither buttercream nor fondant (although we suspect that buttercream is the glue beneath the surface.) The decoration here is chocolate, believe it or not!

The chocolatier spreads tempered chocolate over the acetate sheets, and as it cools to a hardened (though still malleable) state, the cake is wrapped with the sheetsof chocolate for this incredible effect. I love the designs...
