Most of us recall the moment in which the wedding cake is cut, the two lovebirds cut it with their united hands, this signifies the communion between the two, and it is underlined by the gesture of feeding each other and the people surrounding happily clap their hands.

This peace of pastry is an eternal motif at a wedding, it will always be present, and by the passing of years it becomes more and more elevate, the classical white is forgot and the future husbands prefer different colors and aspects for their cake.
It is said that this element is present at weddings even from the old times, when our ancestors used instead of this modern peace of sweet, some bread and later on, different assets that used to taste sweet in order to celebrate their communion, also another tradition is that of the hidden ring inside the sweet, thus the person who found it was believed to be the next one getting married, but nowadays this gesture is substituted with that of tossing the bouquet.
The Victorians used to prefer white for the cake, because it didn`t only underlined purity, it also meant that it was a refined product (white sugar wasn`t that accessible in those days).
Leaving these things behind, most of us recall the classical image of the wedding cake, on top of which stay two mini-versions of the just married couple, most of our actual lovebirds prefer to stay away from this pose, because everyone wants to have a unique wedding, so they try to escape from classical elements.
For those who want to maintain a virginal white for their cake and also be original, a little suggestion: a medium white cake, with marzipan on top, maybe two layers, and beside this variant of cake maybe, hundreds of mini-cakes that will be served to the participants; the success is guaranteed, and let`s not forget some natural orchids on top of original cake and your wedding cake will make history! It is also needed to be mentioned, that the medium cake will be eaten only by the couple…
Speaking of layers, why do all wedding cakes have at least 3 or 4 layers? If you want to be unique, you can order your cake: long, vast, without layers and a picture of you two, on top, that surely will be an original idea and surely no one thought of it! Speaking about layers early, it must be underlined the fact that those don`t necessary mean a good life in our future life couple!
If you don`t have any idea of what aspect to give your wedding cake talk with your wedding planner, he or she will surely give you a good idea, with layers or without, is a special thing, it`s a symbolic element of the ceremony!
