Long ago at elaborate we'd
dings no less than three cakes
we're provided for the gala
festivities = the brides cake,
the groom's cake, and the
wedding cake.
Nowadays it is considered
quite sufficient to have one
cake which We speak of as
the wedding cake. It's usually
a TERED white cake beauti-
fully decorated with snowy
white froSting.
The history of the wedding
cake dates back to Roman
times. When the bride gave
her right hand in marriage
to the bridegroom, she held
in her left hand three kernels
Of wheat. a symbol Of plenty.
After the ceremony, the wed.
ding party sat down together
to partake OF a cake made
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-11
FOR THE JUNE BRIDE
WeddingCQkeM Made
From PQckQged Mix

Of flour. salt and water-a
far cry from the tender, lus-
cious cakes Of today.
Eventually it became the
custom for friends of the
happy couple to shower them
with wheat as soon as they
appeared after the ceremony
custom that still lives,
with rice being substituted
for the wheat. The Romans
used to scramble for the wheat
kernels and eat them then
and there. People lost their
appetites for the uncooked
grain. and a meal cake came
into being which was broken
above the brides head as the
symbol of plenty. Each guest
took home a piece Of the
cake to insure this blessing
for themselves.
In Elizabethan times, these
dry meal cakes began to
change form and included
eggs, milk, sugar. currants and
spice-baked in small bun
shapes.
1t wasn't long before the
small cakes we're heaped to-
gether. covered with white
icing oranamented with tiny
cu1ids. flowers or other motif
suggestive of matrimonial
bliss. It was a relatively short
step to bake the cakes in
layers, laid tier upon tier.
The cake is no longer bro
ken above the brides head.
In modern times it's customary
for the bride to cut the first
slice Of cake, offer 1t to the
groom. and let friends, family
or walters take over cutting
the rest Of the cake to serve
