Rich, dense and moist chocolate mud cake is well-loved, but it isn't a common wedding cake flavor in the U.S. However, that doesn't mean you can't have it as your wedding cake. Because it is so dense and heavy, it isn't easily stacked. This might defy the look of contemporary wedding cakes, but you can still incorporate tiered plating for a taller cake. Once you have a reliable recipe, the key to making your mud cake into a wedding cake is in the decorations, which can be as simple or extravagant as you can make them. Does this Spark an idea?

If you are overly strict with your budget, have a bit of creativity and add plenty of do-it-yourself touches, you can create a small wedding with memories that will last a lifetime.
