Wedding cake
A wedding cake is the traditional cake served to the guests at a wedding reception (or in parts of England, at a wedding breakfast) after a wedding. This custom was dominant in US wedding in the 1950s where it represented togetherness. .Achieving a dense, strong cake that can support the decorations while remaining edible can be considered the epitome of the baker s art and skill. The average cost of a professionally made wedding cake in the U.S.
in 2005 was $543. Wedding cake toppers are small models that sit on top of the cake, normally a representation of a bride and groom in formal wedding attire. In modern Western culture, it is usually a large cake, multi-layered or tiered, and heavily decorated with icing, occasionally over a layer of marzipan or fondant, topped with a small statue representing the couple.
