There are many stories about old wedding cake traditions. Centuries ago the wedding cake was made of wheat cakes that were sprinkled over the head of the bride. This was the symbol of fertility and was supposed to bring good luck to the bride. Before this the wedding cake was a loaf of bread that the groom broke over the brides head to represent his dominance over her. Thankfully these traditions have changed over the years and no longer involve cake over the brides head.
The colour white is the traditional colour that represents purity. A long time ago it was also used as a symbol of affluence as white icing used the finest sugar!
The cutting of the cake is traditionally the first task of the bride and groom, symbolising their working together in married life. This was once just the job of the bride, symbolising her upcoming loss of virginity. The cutting of the cake is also the end of the wedding formalities.
The top tier of the wedding cake was traditionally saved for the christening of the couple’s first baby. Now however it is usually saved for the couple’s first wedding anniversary.
A tradition now for the single guests at your wedding: Apparently if they sleep with a piece of wedding cake under their pillow they will dream about their future spouse!
Did you know?
Many people have tried to break records involving cakes of some sorts, here a few that have succeeded.
The world record for the largest cupcake/fairy cake was broken on 15th August 2009 by GormetGiftBasket.com. It weighed 1,224 lb (555.197 kg). They had originally planned for a much bigger cake, but when the cooking cake broke the oven the night before the world record adjudicator arrived they scaled it back and still broke the record!!
The world’s largest wedding cake can serve up to 59,000 people. Imagine how many cake boxes you would need for that sized cake!! The cake itself is 17feet tall and weighs a staggering 15,032 pounds! It was made for a bridal showcase in February 2010.
The world’s largest Barbie birthday cake was made to celebrate Barbie’s 50th birthday. The cake was 2.1 meter’s tall and was displayed in Australia at the steps of the Botanic Gardens, Sydney.
If you are thinking of trying for a Guinness world record in cake making, here are a few things to remember:
- It must contain traditional ingredients in the correct proportions
- It must be prepared in the same way that you would prepare a normal sized cake
- It must adhere to hygiene standards
- It must be edible and safe to eat
