GOOD TASTE
TODAY
SEPARATE BRIDE AND GROOM
WEDDING CAKES
By EMILY POST

Once in a while. a letter is sent
me referring TO a custom that Is
unknown to me. l always print
this letter in the hope that other
readers will tell me about 1t. IL
seems TO me that these customs
which are not well known to uhe
world in general-eustoms winch
give individuality to certain COM
munities-are surely as interesting
to my readers as they are to me!
A letter today asks one OF these
questions: Have you ever heard
OF having two small wedding cakes
on the bridal table-one with the
groom doll on it and the other
with the bride doll ,"
To this I have to answer No
And yet Of course we have all
heard of white almond cake called
brides cake. and know that it is
used in place of black fruit cake
in certain sections Of the country.
II is also used for small extra
wedding cake that is to be filled
with favors and put In front of the
bride and groom at the bridal Ia
BILE. I have heard that black
fruit cake is by some people
called grooms cake, but this
covered with white brides icing.
is actually the wedding cake.
have never heard of a whole cake
baked for the groom and certainly
I do not at all like the idea of a
separated bride and groom I am
printing this in the hope that
someone will tell me what .
groom's cake means.
A Detail Of Table Service
Dear Mrs. Post: (a) Should the
glasses be picked up or left stand
ing on the table when filling
them? tb) And should ice be put
in the glasses first, or is the water
chilled in the pitcher before pour
ing?
Answer: (a) The glasses should
be left standing. (b) Many peo.
pie do not like ice. Therefore,
unless you. are sure about this,
it is best to have glasses filled
with cold water. And then proffer
the ice separately. If you know
certain people like ice then a big
piece is put in each glass before
water is poured. When pouring
from a pitcher that has ice in it.
one must be careful to watch the
spout and not let a piece fall into
the glass and splash water over
the table.
