The wedding cake has some interesting history! Before the days of smashing wedding cake in each others' face back in "the day," after the wedding the groom would bite out a chunk of a loaf of bread and hold it above the bride's head showering her with crumbs. Guests would crowd around scavenging for crumbs hoping the morsels would bring them good luck. The tradition evolved to the bride breaking pieces off of the wedding cake tiny enough to fit through her wedding band and gave it to guests for good luck. Soon after guests were finally able to get an entire piece of wedding cake, but not to enjoy it at the wedding! They took their cake home to put under their pillow for good luck and sweet dreams of their future spouses. Thank goodness the tradition evolved to actually getting a yummy piece of cake and eating it too! Even if that means the bride and groom may smash it in each others' face! :D
These cakes were made by Kate from Honeymoon Bakery in Rome, GA. By far, my favorite cakes. They are both beautiful and delicious!!!!
