Wedding Cake

Symbolism
The wedding cake is a tradition that began back in the Roman Empire. At the time, it was a loaf bread that the groom broke over the brides head as a symbol his dominance in the marriage and over her. The color the cake is typically white to symbolize purity. The joint task the bride and groom cutting the cake is meant to symbolize their first joint task in married life. The gesture feeding cake to one another is a symbol the commitment the bride and groom are making.
One the earliest forms the wedding cake is the French Croquembouche. The legend this cake says that a pastry chef, visiting medieval England, witnessed their tradition piling sweet rolls between the bride and groom which they would attempt to kiss over without knocking them all down. The pastry chef then went back to France and piled sweet rolls up into a tower to make the first Croquembouche.
