Wedding cake is the traditional cake that is served to guests at wedding receptions after a wedding takes place. It modern Western culture, it's usually a large, multi-layered or tiered cake that is heavily decorated with icing, usually over a layer of marzipan or fondant. Achieving a dense but strong cake that can support the decorations and still remain edible is what can be considered the epitome of the baker's art and skill.
The wedding cake is a tradition that began back in the Roman Empire. Back then, it was a loaf of bread that the groom broke over the bride's head as a symbol of his dominance in the marriage and over her. The color of the cake is typically white, to symbolize purity (just like the white wedding dresses that the brides wear). The action of the bride and groom cutting the wedding cake is meant to symbolize their first joint task in married life. The gesture of feeding the cake to one another is a symbol of the commitment the bride and groom are making. Following, I will give you some websites that you can visit to check out different cake designs.
