Have your cake and eat it too

(Although, truth be told, some of these cakes are just too beautiful to eat!) I’ve been perusing the web, scoping out wedding cakes and I have to say, there are some pretty fabulous confections out there! The cake is definitely one of the many fun highlights of a wedding. Achieving a strong cake that is dense enough to support decorations and still remain not only edible but tasty is no easy task and is a skill that bakers strive to master. I know I always appreciate when a gorgeous cake is also delicious!
 


Wedding cakes have always typically been white, to symbolize purity; but there are really no rules anymore – especially nowadays. A wedding is a reflection of the personalities of the bride and groom, and the cake is no exception. You should never be afraid to go completely against the grain and do something new! Make it special.

The tradition of the bride and groom cutting the cake together is a symbol of their first task together in married life. Feeding the cake to one another symbolizes the commitment that the couple are making to one another – think about that before you go to smoosh it in your love’s face! Okay, okay, I’ll admit, that’s half the fun!

I hope you enjoy looking through these chic wedding cakes as much as I enjoyed collecting them. There are so many pretty color combinations and decorations, I can’t help getting excited  all over again. I love the red black and white combo!
