Food historian William Woys Weaver once said: “. . . the Great Cake and its layers upon layers of sublimated meanings—erotic to commemorative—are certainly here to stay. It is a food that has become a veritable institution. A wedding without it would be a wedding without protocol, a rite without confirmation.”
Whether the cake is naturally iced, adorned with fresh fruit, hand painted or decorated with intricate sugar work or fresh, edible flowers, it's a dessert that tells a story.
Wedding cakes are designed in theme with the wedding, making a statement and becoming part of a dream and a confirmation of love.
