A wedding could never be the same without a wedding cake. It is the center of the event, other than the beauty of the bride of course. Wedding cake is a tradition that people have always followed. Before the time cakes were decorated by icings and edible flowers, cakes look so plain and simple. It was during the Roman Empire when cakes look so plain and boring. They were only too concern about the symbolism of the cake slicing ritual that the bride and groom need to execute during the wedding rehearsal. Those old tradition has become the pigment of the past because our modern tradition has prevailed already the reason why our cakes nowadays have become so exciting and rather very fun to look at. And it is important that that your cake must be delicious and must meet everybody’s tastes. Though the cake presentation comes first, put some attention to its taste as well because no matter how lovely your cake looks you and your guests are still going to eat them so why not make it the best tasting wedding cake ever.
Looking back during the time when cakes were unsweetened. It’s a tradition that the newlywed couple will have to kiss in front of those cakes piled up on the table. Cakes are considered a symbol of prosperity and the ritual that goes with it presents meanings and customs that may have different interpretations. The cake later became more popular in the United States and Europe. The first cake ever written in history is the cake for a Princess Louise. She is the daughter of Queen Victoria. Her cake stood as high as five feet. Cakes with three layers started during the age of English Royalty when it is reserved for them. Along with the development of wedding cake’s sizes, cake decorations has flourished coming up with different and fresh designs like the pillars being used to support the upper layers. The purpose of this is to serve as a base that will keep the cake from out of balance. Later, cake artists have found more ways on how to strengthen the base of the cake. They hardened the icing so the support will not only depend on the pillars alone. In the United States, the cake of the groom has also become a trend. And it actually looks totally different from the bride’s cake to put some contrasting effect. This tradition started in the South though its origin cannot be clearly traced.
