Your wedding reception just wouldn't be the same without a wedding cake. After all, it's meant as a symbol of fertility and is one of the most commonly found wedding traditions.

The Ancient Romans used to bake a cake of barley or wheat and then break it over the bride's head as a sign of fertility. It became customary to pile several small cakes to create one large tier. The bride and groom would then try to kiss over the tower of cakes without knocking it over. If successful, it would be a sign that their marriage would be long and prosperous. Wedding cakes of today are more about style and taste than they are symbols of fertility. If you're a super talented baker you can make your own wedding cake - not only will you save money but it will also symbolize all the love and dedication that you will put into your marriage.
For those of you who aren't whizzes in the kitchen let someone else do all the hard work..
