By Dominic T Fehlman


Almost every social event offers food in the celebration. Birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings are but a few of the events where food is an important part of the celebration. This article is about the wedding cake. A wedding is a way to celebrate the union of two individuals who are starting a life together. Individuals come to eat and drink and a great deal of work is put into the preparation for this day. The wedding cake is often the focal point of the occasion.

There are specified rules for cutting the wedding cake which are a part of tradition. For instance, at a wedding reception, it is traditional to cut the wedding cake just before dessert is served, if the wedding reception takes place during lunch or the dinner hour. However, if the reception is held during tea or cocktails, the cake is cut just after all the guests arrive.

Selecting a wedding cake is quite a job. Tradition calls for a white cake with white frosting for weddings. In this day and age, couples are selecting their favorite flavor. This has bakeries and cake decorators striving to provide a bigger choice of cakes. Chocolate, fruit, yellow, pound, and marble are a few of the cakes made for contemporary weddings.

Some wedding cakes provide a different flavor for each layer. White icing, whilst still ordered, has made way for a wider selection of frostings. Chocolate, mocha, lemon, and any other flavor you can imagine are used for wedding cake decorating. It is possible to customize your cake using all your favorite flavors.

The wedding reception is the most anticipated part of the wedding. And everybody looks forward to seeing the cake cut and sharing it with the bride and groom as a symbol of good will and a hope, that as a couple, the bride and groom will be prosperous and fertile.
