Wedding Hints & Helpers:
Wedding Cake

    How did we ever get into the wedding cake tradition anyway?

This sounds like a scene from the Flintstones but, during the days of the Roman empire, wedding cakes were traditionally broken over the head of the new Bride by her Groom.

Maidens (bridesmaids) would then scramble for pieces of cake, and take them home for good luck. Thank goodness times have changed, but wedding cakes do occasionally get smashed by newlyweds into each other's faces during the cake cutting ceremony!

Also, before you go smashing, remember how much that Wedding Gown cost!
 
Wedding cakes are now available in a variety of flavors (cheesecake, carrot, chocolate, etc.), and may have the personalities of the newlyweds represented as a theme on the cake top.

Even though simple three-tiered cakes are quite popular, more elaborate wedding cakes that are a true work of art with a price tag to match are sometimes preferred. Prices vary from about $200 to $4,000 (gulp!). That cake had better be gold plated!

Some couples choose to forgo the traditional cake. One recent New Hampshire wedding featured a "cake" made of 144 Krispy Kreme doughnuts smothered in honey. BTW, there are NO Krispy Kreme locations in New Hampshire, so they needed to be flown in.

One more thought...are you really going to take the cake and literally smash it into your new spouse's face?

Might be more expensive fun (again...how much did that dress cost?) and isn't the best way to start of a brand new marriage. But I digress.
