The Wedding Cake

In the olden days, a wedding cake was an extravagant item on a wedding. The people in the upper class and high social status could afford such a luxury. The larger the cake at the wedding, the higher you were ranked in society. It was also a symbol of good luck, and it was thought that the cake would bring happiness, joy, and fertility to the lives of the married couple. Though, those superstitious days are gone yet the tradition of wedding cakes still moves on. You will hardly find a wedding where there isn’t any cake these days. It pleasures the guests and is considered the centre of attraction at any wedding. It is the physical representation of a marriage celebration; hence it is a very significant part of a wedding ceremony.

Most importantly, the moment of the bride and groom cutting the cake is priceless. It produces a sense of promise and commitment to one another. It also adds another moment of cheer and memories to a joyful evening when the bride and groom taste the cake by each other’s hands.

It is truly a precious moment!

Wedding cakes can be made in different styles and sizes depending upon the preference of the couple. Traditionally the wedding cake is made in tiers with white icing, but these days the fondant can be made into any colour and decorated with confectionaries of your choice. You can genuinely make the cake your design and even add cute tiny cupcakes or mini doughnuts to it if you so desire.

Everyone loves cake!

The flavour is key. White sponge cake is too basic and simple, these days and people like to add a bit of pizzazz by using untraditional flavours like chocolate, red velvet, lemon, or carrot. The possibilities are endless! Getting Married in Antigua can help you in finding the perfect bakery that can create the wedding cake you would like on your special day.
