Medieval Wedding Cake

A wedding is not complete without a wedding cake. Wedding cakes would benefit from the great Roman Empire. Before the icing and cake were invented, most wedding cakes were loaves of barley bread made especially for this occasion. Medieval England version of a wedding cake is not sweet sandwiches stacked high against the couple. The bride and the cake was very popular during the 17th century. The bride is a piece of cake from her wedding ring and distribute it among the guests. White has a special color of the wedding cakes for very clear reasons, white means purity. If refined sugar is the main ingredient, the white wedding cake, the more prosperous the family appears to be.

Cutting the wedding cake is a tradition that we experienced a dozen times. The bride is the one who cuts the cake with the groom. Then they feed each other a piece of cake from the first part of the wedding cake. White is still the favorite color of the couple for the wedding cake, but other colors are used to dress the bride or the wedding motif. Although the single-layer wedding cakes are still popular, it is quickly replaced by multi-tiered wedding cakes with two or even three layers. More detailed and intricate designs are also in the wedding cake, adding elegance and unique personal touch the wedding.
