During the days of the Roman empire, wedding cakes were traditionally broken over the head of the new Bride by her Groom.

Guests would then scramble for pieces of cake, and take them home for good luck.

Even though times have changed, wedding cakes do occasionally get smashed by newlyweds into each other's faces during the cake cutting ceremony! Wedding cakes are now available in a variety of flavors (cheesecake, carrot, chocolate, etc.),and may have the personalities of the newlyweds represented as a theme on the cake top.

Even though simple three-tiered cakes are quite popular, more elaborate wedding cakes that are a true work of art with a price tag to match (up to $3.000.00!) are sometimes preferred.
