Wedding Cakes
Wedding Cakes
Wedding cake has its origins from a Roman wedding tradition of breaking a small loaf of bread over the bride's head for fertility. But today's tiered wedding cake has its origins from the Middle Ages. Guests would often bring small cakes that would be stacked on top of each other. The bride and groom would try and kiss over the top of the cakes without toppling them for luck and prosperity. In time, this wedding tradition would evolve and the cakes would all be covered with the same icing.

Used as centrepieces
In order to make sure all your guest have a piece of your wedding cake, you could make miniatures sizes of your wedding cake and use it as the centerpiece for table setting.
