Find on Amazon.co.uk

The look, the smell and the taste of chocolate make it one of the most indulgent of foods, so it is hardly surprising that chocolate cakes have become such a popular choice for weddings and celebrations. The classic and contemporary designs range from the smooth, sleek, shiny, elegant and stylish look of dark chocolate to the pretty cakes adorned with creamy white chocolate curls.

Chocolate Cakes for Weddings and Celebrations is a unique book containing over 20 spectacular chocolate cakes from the simple one-tier to the more extravagant five-tier creations and amazing chocolate table centrepieces. The book also includes a wide range of chocolate cake coverings, from pure chocolate in dark, milk and white, to easy-to-use ganache and chocolate paste, so popular with sugarcrafters.

The various chocolate techniques are demonstrated in stunning step-by-step colour photography. Covering every skill level, from beginner to professional, this book is accessible to everyone on a chocolate adventure! 
3. book cover Green and Black's Chocolate Recipes: From the Cacao Pod to Muffins, Mousses and Molesby Caroline Jeremy
 
 
This book would be worth looking at just for the luscious and irresistible full page colour photos.
 
Recipes range from classic (chocolate biscuit cake) to quirky (chocolate beetroot cake??), most of which look fabulous.
 
Green and Black's provide advice on how to cook with chocolate, and recommendations of wine and spirits to serve with it, as well as short sections on the habitats and communities that produce it.
4. book cover The Silver Palate Cookbookby Julee Rosso, Sheila Lukins, Michael McLaughlin

Silver Palate Cookbook:
View on Amazon.co.uk

Original home of the fabulous Decadent Chocolate Cake, plus another one which they bafflingly claim is the best chocolate cake in the universe (Chocolate Hazelnut Cake) despite it being in the same book as the Decadent Chocolate Cake.

Also home to the chocolate fudge ice cream sauce we grew up referring to as 'cement', this book is mostly not about chocolate but has enough of these classic top quality recipes to more than make up for that :)
