wedding cake
the ultimate symbol of romance
The
history of wedding cakes goes back almost as far as
that of weddings. Snow white frosting symbolizes virginity
but also evokes thoughts of crisp, white, wedding bed
sheets.
In ancient Greece, the wedding cake tradition was for
brides to bake cake for their new husbands. In the era
of Louis XIV, the French served alcohol-soaked cakes
to the wedding couple as a send off with a kick.
Today, the serving of wedding cake is a sensual dance.
Partners cut cake hand-in-hand then feed one another
from the first slice.
