Sunday Sweets: Wedding Cakes in Chocolate
Hey girl.
Today's post is dedicated to you.
That's right, to you and every other chocolate-loving chocoholic out there who can't quit craving the sweet stuff and have long since polished off the last 3 Musketeers bar in your kids' Halloween candy stash.
You know who you are.
So come along. Let's take a ride on the gentle waves of chocolate's sweet caress:

Smell the chocolate. Feeeeel the chocolate. Taste the chocolate. BE the chocolate.
Let chocolate's smooth tendrils of tantalization entwine you.

Embrace the chocolate! Let its sweet siren song wash over you and take you to a place where a rose is just a rose, unless it's a chocolate rose...
By Baking Arts
Because then it's like, a way better rose.
Unless of course, it's a painted chocolate rose. With ruffles. And twirly things.
By The Paul Bradford Sugarcraft School
Twirly things of temptation!
So surrender! Surrender to chocolate's rich and creamy charms!
Let the fermented bean pods of the cacao tree seep into your soul as you... um... wait.
OK, so maybe that's not the sexiest description of chocolate you've ever heard. Sorry.
I'm running out of adjectives here.
Bottom line, chocolate is pretty much perfection.
By Wilton
Like this cake. Such perfection, I'm having trouble believing it's real. Look at those razor sharp corners!
And the only way this curvaceous cake could be better is if there were even more of it:
I'm just dotty for it! (The kids still say 'dotty,' right?)
(No? Well, I'm not very hip. My pajamas have cats on them.)
Of course, sometimes even the most fervent chocolate lover needs a break:
Like this. This is the perfect chocolate break.
Who could resist a cake literally paved in chocolate?
I can't. You can't. Don't even try.
Anyway, if you love chocolate so much, why don't you marry it? I think you should.

If only for the cake.
Hope your Sunday’s extra sweet!

P.S. Hey chocolate lovers, have you seen the giant one pound Snickers bar??
Snickers "Slice 'N Share" Giant Candy Bar
This isn't a bunch of regular size bars wrapped up in a big box, y'all; it really is a giant Snickers bar. The peanut layer is like an inch and a half thick! The photo gallery is making me drool, hnnng. I want one to have and to hold and to not share, John, so you better get two. ;)
