Wedding styles may come and go but
•the wedding cake )s one aspect of the
marriage cele raton that
for thohas be enfcon-
sistently importa
years.
In ancient Greece, early Rome, and the
Middle Ages, cakes made variously ofrrv-
sesame, fruits, nuts and honey
e
ed to, tossed over and broken above the
heads of brides and grooms on their wed-
ding day. The cakes represented the hope
that the union would be bountiful and
fruitful.
Wedding cakes today are generally
multi -tiered dark fruitcakes decorated in
white icing and accented — with flowers,
birds, bells and the like — in icing, usual-
ly the color of the bridesmaids' dresses.
Discussions with London bakeries in-
dicate that glass figures, miniature
brides and grooms, flowers, birds, and
fountains are popular ornaments for the
top of wedding cakes this spring.
Many of today's brides are as choosy
about the design of their wedding cake as
they are about the design of their wed-
ding gown: as many if not more options
can brighten up a wedding cake as can
decorate a wedding dress. Variations in
- the cake's shape and size can help make
it both a personal statement and an in-
• dividual creation; white or even
chocolate cakes can be used if the bride
so chooses. Most brides find ideas for
their own cake in magazines, but cake
decorators. can make suggestions as well.
Cake costs vary, depending on size,
type and complexity. London bakeries
charge either by the pound or by the ser-
ving. Fruitcake is much more expensive
than white cake, but costs can be cut by
either ordering only one layer of fruit-
cake and decorating styrofoam slabs for
the others, or by bakingthe fruitcake
yourself and having a bakery decorate it.
(If you choose this option, make certain
the cake you bring in for icing is very
firm. Dousing it with sherry may make it .
taste terrific, but it will be too gooey for
icing.)
