Wedding cakes are a time-honored tradition dating back to the Roman empire the meaning of the traditional wedding cake has evolved as has the flavors and style of the cake. While the overall appearance and customs of the cake have changed, it is fair to say weddings are celebrated with some form of cake!
The significance of the wedding cake has always existed, even though its meaning has changed. In Rome, the broken cake represented the breaking of the bride’s virginity and the headship of her new husband. For those couples who successfully completed the kissing ceremony, it meant that they would have many children. The bride’s pie contained a glass ring. The person who found it was said to be the next who would be married.
The modern cake-cutting ceremony is now an opportunity for photographs and the cake will often represent hobbies/interests of the couple and will usually be a representation of the wedding day theme.
