Wise people say that wedding is a holy union of two souls which are destined to be with each other forever. In most parts of the world, particularly in England wedding cakes are part of the tradition. Wedding cakes are cut by the bride and groom and served to the guests at the wedding reception after the wedding.
The first ever wedding cake was made in france by a pastry chef. The legend of this cake says that the chef, while visiting medieval England, witnessed their tradition of piling sweet rolls between the bride and groom and which they would attempt to kiss over without knocking the sweets down. The pastry chef then went back to France and piled sweet rolls up into a tower to make the first wedding cake.
At present, wedding cakes used in most weddings are large multilayered cakes with heavy icing on them. Icing is usually done over a layer of confectionaries like marzipan or fondant. It takes a great amount of skill to create a dense and strong cake which holds the decorations properly and remains edible at the same time. It is truly an artist’s work.
Placing small models, usually of bride and groom in formal wedding attire on top of the wedding cake is also a regular tradition in practice. These models are called wedding cake toppers. Wedding cake toppers represent a concept of togetherness.
Normally wedding cakes are made of rich fruit cake. They can be even made from vanilla sponge, chocolate sponge or carrot cake too. Usually these cakes are about three to five tiers in height. Wedding cakes usually consist of a bottom tier made from vanilla sponge, chocolate sponge will form the middle tier and a fruit cake forms the top tier. These cakes will be cut into smaller pieces and will be distributed to the guests accordingly.
Another trend in weddings all over is wedding cupcakes. To imitate the tiers of a wedding cake, the cupcakes are placed on a stand and decorated in the wedding colors.
These days wedding cakes are really becoming more trendy and center of attraction of the event. The couples themselves customize their own wedding cakes and really finds it great. Wedding cakes are usually made of rich fruits and vanilla icing which is very tasty.
Wedding is one of the sweetest moments in everyone’s life. You can add more flavor to that moment by cutting a wedding cake. It symbolizes the joy of sharing and caring that the couples have to affirm for their entire lifetime.
I was just excited to see the attractive wedding cake on my friend’s wedding. That was just awesome with small miniature topper of a bride and bridegroom. This was decorated with green colored creeper design.
Few of the times things roll out so fast and we wouldn’t get time as we thin but what does happen is we run out of it badly. My sister’s wedding was too rush, we dint get much time , but still then we ran things and made things possible. Maybe its good to start things early instead of last minute rushes.
My sister’ wedding was awaited with much excitement . We were checking many wedding cakes designs and got one with toppers like a small miniature of a couple with berry leaves on a white vanilla cake. Wedding cake design site gives many choices.
