The Wedding Cake is one of the biggest traditions involved in a wedding. They were even around before elaborate icing was invented. Wedding cakes can date back as far as roman times when it was custom for the cake to be broken over the brides head! That tradition seemed to die out though! As weddings became more of an ordeal so did the cake.
Wedding cakes differ depending on personal taste of course, but also where they are in the world.
The French believe the Wedding Cake tradition began in their country, but no one is really sure. In France, wedding cakes are sometimes in the form of a croquembouche. This style is popular in Belgium as well. A croquembouche is basically a large cone structure made of cream filled pastries, like profiteroles.
