Wedding Cake

A wedding cake is a traditional luscious desert shared with the guest in a wedding feast after the ceremonial rite. It is also considered as the centerpiece of the wedding banquet. Miniature figurines that represent the bride and groom more often put on top of the cake.

The tiered spire of a famous medieval church called St. Bride's in London, England gave the inspiration for the layered design of our wedding cakes.

The wedding cake tradition originated back during the medieval era. It is required of for each one of the wedding guest to bring a petite cake. These cakes would be stacked up and arranged in layers. These stacks of cakes would ultimately become as one cake.

Our contemporary wedding cake is said to evolve from this traditional practice. Fortunately, this odd tradition changed, and the cake is now eaten as noticed during the couple's romantic sharing of the first slice.

• White and creamy cake is a reminder of an Italian culture, while a fruit cake if more of a Greek practice.
• A memorable piece of cake topper that is very significant in your life.
• Pick a favorite cake in lieu of the traditional white wedding cakes.

Wedding cakes are often viewed with its symbolic value than the enjoyment and pleasure of eating it. Today's cakes are no more the plain white ones with boring frostings; instead these cakes can be visual as well as a culinary showpiece. Lists of interesting cake icing are described to suit the couple's palate.

The wedding cake we are familiar with today had its beginning several hundred years ago, in a confection that celebrated the wedding ceremony of Queen Victoria's daughter in 1859. Wedding cake developed from there. Wedding cakes these days are to a great extent more creative.
