. end of the •rites, and the
crumbs'' were gathered bpi'
guestsas good -luck tokens.
In 14t1 { century England
wedding.. guests brought
small cakes and put them
In the center ,of the table.
usually this.,ereated quite
'a pile. The' bride and
groom then tried to reach
across the -bile of cakes
and to kiss, without knock -
in g the pile over.
Later, in France, a trav-
eling baker conceived the
idea .of icing all-tl a small
cakes together into one
large impressive cake . .
thus, we have today the
tiered wedding cake.
Today 'the caterer- may
not be designated to make
the Wedding .cake. Fre-
quently the bride, some-
times with her maids and/
or their families, bake the
cake arid the . good things
just a few days'before the
wedding. This has taken
its place among the pleas-
ant pre -nuptial traditions
which many ,young people
enjoy. �•
Making your own wed-
ding cake? Many brides
do! Consultants suggest
you add garlands, stars,
roses, and other pretty
things - from the pastry
tube, then perhaps add, -
doves and cupids, or sym-
bols .of your own lifestyle
and beliefs. Whatever the.
creation, be sure to freeze •
the top layer to eat on
the occasion of your first
anniversary.
