The origin of the
wedding cake can be traced as far back as the Roman Empire. A piece of bread
was baked for the ceremony and the groom would eat some of the bread and break
the remaining piece over the bride's head. This is considered as a kind of
bless and fortune to the couple.
The ritual of the wedding cake in Britain can be
traced back to medieval times, when it would have been made of wheat and,
bizarrely, thrown at the bride as a symbol of fertility. In modern Western
culture, it is usually a large cake, multi-layered or tiered, and heavily
decorated with icing, usually over a layer of marzipan or fondant.
After knowing the brief
history of wedding cake, let’s enjoy some fantastic wedding cakes. Wish you find
your favorite one.
