Wedding Cake Traditions
There are a lot of traditions around weddings; just consider the popular saying, ?Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.? I’m sure a dozen others come to mind, too! In fact, there are so many wedding traditions that there are even some centered around the wedding cake alone. Which of these do you want to be a part of your big day"
White Icing
Everyone knows that the traditional white wedding dress is supposed to symbolize purity and innocence, but what about a traditional white wedding cake" The reason wedding cakes used to always be white was more out of convenience, since sugar is white and cake icing is made from sugar. As time went on, extremely white icing became a status symbol for the wealthy, since the whiter the frosting the more refinied, and therefore the more expensive, the sugar. Of course, now wedding cakes come in all different colors, but this tradition still holds strong. Multiple Tiers
Ever wonder why wedding cakes have so many tiers" Part of the reason is to have lots of cake to serve to guests, but there’s also a history lesson in there. In the medieval times, spiced buns would be stacked as high as possible. If the bride and groom could kiss over this giant pile of pastries without knocking it over, they would have a lifetime of wealth to look forward to. Of course, piles of pastries eventually became tiered cakes. But the dessert tower is actually also making a comeback these days as towers of cup...
