Wedding Cake

Since when there are weddings, there are wedding cakes. From marzipan, white or dark chocolate with fruits or cream, the wedding cake cut is a special moment in the wedding party, being the first thing bride and groom share, thus symbolizing the common future. Although the size, shape or ingredients used to prepare the wedding cake has changed greatly over time, the tradition has remained the same. In the past there was a custom for the wedding cake to be made and brought by the guests. The cake height and beauty showed the guests appreciation for the bride.

The Romans had the custom the end of the wedding party to break bread over the bride’s head. The resulting pieces will indicate the number of children that the future couple will have. Then these pieces were given to guests, believing that those who will eat will get lucky. The ancient Greeks had the custom to serve a cake made of sesame. From then until today the wedding cake has gone through various changes, becoming a genuine work of art. However, the wedding cake was not always made to be consumed. In the past, pieces of cake were thrown to the bride and groom, to stimulate prosperity and fertility, as today we have the habit of throwing rice to the young couple at the end of the religious ceremony.

Today the cake is made to fit with the wedding themes couples decide to respect and the cake decorations are the most important part in its baking. In general, couples prefer white for the wedding cake, but more often they opt for unique cakes. Those who prepare the wedding cakes are now cake designers. The wedding cake meaning has also slightly modified today. The newlyweds alone cut the first slice of cake along with the same knife and then feed each other, which means union and involvement in the couple. Cutting the cake is so the first thing married couples do together. After the wedding cake cut, toasts are made and glasses of champagne drank.

Whatever the form, significance or taste of the wedding cake, this cake is the main attraction of the party and its choice can be made depending on you preferences. There are no rules and the cake does not have to be white. You can have a pink, blue or green cake. It can be colored and it can have any shape. It is your wedding and everything has to be the way you want it to be. This is the most important thing you have to keep in mind when you decide for you cake. However, do not forget that for some minutes the wedding cake is going to be the center of attention.
