The wedding cake! What do I do?
The wedding cake! Should we just wink and not worry about it? NO! Every part of your special day is…well…special, including the wedding cake. These delicacies have been around for centuries and have become a tradition around the world to help celebrate the union of the wedding couple.
Originally, it was eaten with the groom to bestow fertility on them in their married life. The cutting of the cake was to symbolize the loss of virginity by the bride. But today, the first bite of the cake being fed to each other by the couple symbolizes the promises they’ve made to each other, and the new life they are about to begin together. Also, the top tier of the cake was traditionally kept and used at the birth of the couple’s first child or on their first wedding anniversary. For many, that tradition still hold today.
Years ago, the idea of the wedding cake was typical. A tiered round white cake with butter cream frosting. Not so anymore. There are many very unique ideas that can really be a focal point of the wedding, especially when places at the front of the bride and groom.
For example, many couples are opting for a heart shaped wedding cake instead of the typical round or square. Also, if you are having a garden wedding, a cake in the shape of a rose petal, with roses on the cake and rose petals sprinkled around the table is absolutely breathtaking!
And don’t forget that you don’t have to have just a vanilla or chocolate cake. At my last daughter’s wedding, we had a cannoli cream cake and I’ve been to weddings where there was rum cake, strawberry filling cakes, etc. Today, anything goes.
But personally, what I think is most beautiful, (and this is VERY easy to accomplish) is to order a white tiered cake with whatever type of trimmings you want on it. Then, when the bride decides what type of flower bouquet she is carrying, just order some extra flowers from the florist of the same color/type, etc. Have them delivered that morning to the bakery or banquet hall liason and have them placed on the tiers of the cake. When the cake is displayed in front of the bride and groom, have the bride place her bouquet right next to the cake on the same table. Gorgeous! And very classy! And very inexpensive! What could be better?
And, one last thing – don’t forget that if you love wedding cakes and want to incorporate that into your theme, we have the most unique wedding favor. Check this out!
