The Wedding Cake In Rome, cake or bread was broken over the bride's head in a ceremony related to fertility. Traditional wedding cake as we know it originated in Britain in Queen Victoria's time, although the tiered wedding cake enjoyed by guests was not commonly featured at weddings until nearly the turn of the century. Today's wedding cakes are unbelievable works of art, offered in a wide variety of flavors and styles and featuring details such as realistic and edible sugar flowers and embellishments. Need some wedding cake decorating ideas? Cakes can be decorated to resemble sand castles, lighthouses, baskets, gift boxes—almost anything you can imagine. Fondant wedding cake is currently a popular choice, with its beautifully smooth, sweet coating. And who says that chocolate wedding cakes aren't an option? Lots of brides find ways to indulge their taste for chocolate with today's wedding cake styles. |

| Discuss your wedding cake ideas with your pastry chef or baker, and choose your professional based on their portfolio, experience, and cost (usually quoted per serving). Cake delivery and setup may not be included in their fee; make these arrangements when you select your cake. |

| The Groom's cake is another tradition which is gaining popularity in recent years. This can be any kind of cake, and can be shared at the rehearsal dinner or reception, or can be boxed as a wedding guest favor. Wedding Favors are a wonderful opportunity for sharing sweets. Almonds are frequently presented to wedding guests to symbolize the bitter and sweet of married life. This tradition comes to us from Italy, where for centuries wedding guests have tossed sugared almonds, or "confetti". |

| Another Italian tradition is the wedding cookie cake, a "cake" built from many varieties and sizes of Italian cookies such as biscotti. Cookies—as well as decorated chocolates in many shapes and sizes—are also a popular choice for favors for wedding guests. |
