The unveiling of the Wedding cake is like the show stopper at a fashion show, it is the ultimate center piece for your wedding reception décor.
Traditionally, wedding cakes were designed to be a token of good luck for the newly weds and their guests. It was usually a fruit cake covered with icing or marzipan. It was initially called ‘bride’s pie’ and guests were expected to have a piece out of politeness and would be considered rude if one did not part take of the bride’s pie and could even bring bad luck to the newly weds.
When a couple is getting married, the greatest challenge is to add something modern and unique to their special day. The wedding cake is one of the easy pieces to a wedding reception that can be customized to suit the bride and groom.
Today’s wedding cakes are built especially for display (some are now made with one edible tier for the bride and groom). The guests are not given slices from this one but have cut slices that are already packaged to go. Newly weds usually keep their top tier as a one year anniversary marker which is believed to keep them from marriage problems in the future.
