Your reception just wouldn’t be the same without a wedding cake. After all, it’s meant as a symbol of fertility and is one of the most commonly found wedding traditions. The Ancient Romans used to bake a cake of barley or wheat and then break it over the bride’s head as a sign of fertility. It also became customary to pile several small cakes to create one large tier. The bride and groom would then try to kiss over the tower of cakes without knocking it over. If they succeeded, it was a sign that their marriage would be long and prosperous.
Today, wedding cakes are more about style and taste then they are symbols of fertility. If you’re a talented baker you can make your own wedding cake – not only will you save money but it will also symbolize all the love and dedication that you will put into your marriage. For those of you who aren’t whizzes in the kitchen there are hundreds of unique wedding cake designs to choose from, such as the recently popular cupcake wedding cake.

I opted for the cupcake wedding cake thinking that is was much easier to make and my mom was making it. I thought wrong! it entails just as much work as a regular tiered wedding cake.
So many people are opting for fake but good-looking cakes now-a-days. A shame really, we had beautiful cakes that tasted great! Always ask for a tasting before committing to your cake and baker
I completely agree that many people choose a fake cake instead of buying or creating a beautiful wedding cake that also taste good. Cupcakes or wedding cakes, it doesn’t matter, as long as they are beautiful and very good tasting
I am so glad to have stumbled on this. I am from Iloilo and would definitely try the cake from Cebu from Chedz. I want my cake to be red with swarovski and all other glittering effects on it.
Really great article. We gave our cake supplier a photo of the cake we wanted and they made it exactly!
Good tips!
