Our wedding cake is the remains OF
custom whereby Roman bride held
in her left hand three wheat ears, and
many centuries later an English bride
wore on her head chaplet of wheat.
The attendant girls threw corn, either
in grains or in small bits Of biscuit or
cake, upon the heads Of the newly
married couple, and the guests picked
up the pieces and ate them. Such was
the beginning Of the wedding cake,
which did not come into general use
until the eighteenth century and was
then composed of solid blocks laid to-
gether and iced all over with sugar
so that when the outer crust was
broken over the brides head the cakes
inside fell en- the door and they were
then distrihuted among the company.
