The Tradition of Having a Wedding Cake
Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? Wedding cakes weren’t originally eaten but thrown at the bride for fertility luck. In fact, In ancient Rome, marriages were sealed when the groom smashed a barley cake over the bride’s head. Anyway, getting cake smashed on your head was probably preferable to eating it because early wedding cakes weren’t exactly tasty. But, by the mid-sixteenth century nicer tastier cakes were being made. The nice cakes stopped all the cake smashing and inspired more cake eating. Brides of the early 1900s notably had a cake that resembled fruitcake. The origin of the tiered wedding cake started in Anglo-Saxon times. Guests would bring small cakes to the wedding and stack them on top of each other. Later, a clever French baker created a cake in the shape of small cakes and covered it in frosting. It is now known as the tiered wedding cake. Brought to you by Regal Creative Design Wedding and Events! Visit websit...
