Talk:Wedding cake

message: Does anyone know the typical price of a wedding cake? I originally came to this article to find out but I see nothing mentioned. Jdufresne 02:09, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They vary pretty widely. It's usually priced per person, so the number of people attending the reception would dictate the size (and price) of the cake. My wife did most of that stuff, but I believe ours was around $400 for about 100 people. Kafziel 18:12, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Price?

message: According to the well-documented foodtimeline website, much of the "history" of wedding cakes given here is wrong. I'd like to propose revising the history to indicate that the ones in question may be folkloric.  I'd also like to suggest creating a separate Traditions section in order to reduce the size of the overview and get to the TOC more quickly. Before taking on such changes myself, I wait debate. :)  Moonriddengirl 12:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin

message: Does anyone have a source for the claim that UK cakes usually have fruit cake as the top layer? I don't dispute that fruit cake is traditional, or that multi-flavoured cakes are popular in recent times, but we were told by my mother (who made our cake) and several bakers that the fruit layer had to be on the bottom because it would sink into a sponge cake. Unfortunately this would count as original research so I don't want to edit the article without a source. Danikat (talk) 18:43, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: UK, fruit cake on top?

message: 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.
The last sentence is not correct.  I am involved with a wedding cake business on Vancouver Island British Columbia (www.Coastalcakecompany.com) and cutting cakes are the exception, not the rule in our business.  Also, the sentence structure is poor, pivoting on a generality with "Modernly However,".  I think we need to re write this as it is not neutral in my opinion.
 
I will work on a new description and post it here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skrivitor (talk • contribs) 15:41, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cake Description 

message: User:Gandydancer and anyone else who can help:  
On my way to add this interesting survey, I discovered a serious factual error.  In this 2012 edit, this long-since-inactive editor declared that an old-fashioned Appalachian stack cake – the kind of wedding cake you have if you're too poor to bake your own, and are relying on friends and family to make a potluck-style cake for you – is the most popular wedding cake style, and we've missed it for years.  I'm out of time, but could someone please review all of that editor's contributions?  WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:06, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
