A wedding cake is the traditional cake served at wedding receptions following dinner. In some parts of England, the wedding cake is served at a wedding breakfast, on the morning following the ceremony. In modern Western culture,
the cake is usually on display and served to guests at the reception.
Traditionally, wedding cakes were made to bring good luck to all guests
and the couple. Modernly however, they are more of a centerpiece to the wedding and are not always even served to the guests. Some cakes are built with only a single edible tier for the bride and groom
to share. Wedding cakes can certainly range in size, from a small cake
that feeds ten people, to a very large cake that will feed hundreds, all
depending on the wedding. Modern pastry chefs and cake designers use various ingredients and tools to create a cake that will reflect the personalities of the couple. Marzipan, fondant, gum paste, butter cream, and chocolate
are among some of the more popular ingredients used.
