even get to think about formal towering cakes and painterly cascading gum paste flowers, we have to go way back in time to the Roman Empire.\u00a0 It all started with the Romans breaking wheat or barley bread over a bride\u2019s or the couples\u2019 head(s) and sprinkling them with the crumbs.\u00a0 The symbolism of this custom ranged from the groom\u2019s dominance over the bride to wishes for the couple\u2019s fertility and abundance.\u00a0 Medieval nuptials weren\u2019t much more glamorous, and were consecrated with unadorned biscuits.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10850\"

Because the more refined the sugar, the whiter (and more expensive) it was, a very white wedding cake bespoke the family\u2019s affluence, as well as the bride\u2019s innocence.\u00a0 To economize on the little bit of sugar that they could afford, the less affluent decorated their slightly-sweetened cakes with a paste fashioned out of almonds and sugar \u2013 the forerunner of fondant, which has actually been around for centuries.\u00a0 Prior to the days of refrigeration, fondant was used to cover dense wedding fruit cakes as they aged (sometimes for as long as 6 months).\u00a0 Upon serving, the fondant was usually discarded.\u00a0 (Even now, many people love the look, but don\u2019t actually eat it.) \u00a0Similarly, the traditional delectable and aromatic fruit and rum\/wine delicacy Jamaican\/Caribbean Black Cake is still covered in fondant or royal icing.<\/p>\n<p><a

showcasing the bride.\u00a0 Typically, it\u2019s meant to serve about a quarter of the guests or fewer.\u00a0 (Depending on the complexity of design and the labor involved, a groom\u2019s cake can potentially get to be quite costly, despite being so much smaller than the wedding cake.)<\/p>\n<p><a

joining their lives.\u00a0 It can reflect the couple\u2019s personal style or design sensibility.\u00a0 For instance, some brides are all about the \u201cbling belts\u201d around the tiers, and the Swarovski crystal monogram as a cake topper.\u00a0 Then there are the weddings where a beautiful, simple buttercream cake with fresh organic flowers is the only thing that will do.\u00a0 But no matter the design or ingredients, the newlyweds\u2019 first act as husband and wife is a nurturing one: feeding each other wedding cake.\u00a0 This custom symbolizes taking care of each other, as well as joining lives and sharing abundance with each other, and loved ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
