Throwing out the “traditional” wedding cakes
The wedding cake is a special symbol in one's wedding. Traditionally, wedding cakes were created to bring good luck to all guest and couples. As time went on wedding cakes symbolized many other things and eventually became more as a centerpiece for many weddings.
The traditional wedding cake all started off with a piece of bread. Which eventually ended up becoming a three or more tiered cake. Back in the days the higher your wedding cake was the higher their social status was.
As tradition slowly fades out from generation to generation, things change, wedding cakes change. Most couples that wed hate wedding cakes and do not want to have the “typical” wedding cake on their special day. In this generation most brides are throwing out traditional and are getting a little more creative with their “special cake.”
What is a “traditional” wedding cake? A traditional wedding cake is at least a three tiered of cake with a bride and groom cake topper.
Here are a few cake alternatives brides are starting to have on their special day:
Since cake pops have suddenly became popular within the cake family, many brides choose to have a wedding cake made out of cake pops. The cake pops are positioned in to three or more tiers to make it appear as a tiered cake, but really it gives the illusion of a three-tired cake.
The cupcakes are similar to the cake pop idea. The cupcakes are also positioned as the illusion of a three or more tiered cake, with the cake topper being a huge cupcake.
Donuts are another new item brides are using to create that special wedding cake and being so unoriginal with it.
Couples are also using rice krispies as a wedding cake. It looks exactly like a “traditional” wedding cake, but instead of using cake they are making it out of rice krispies
Macaroons have resurfaced again and are becoming even more popular. It’s becoming so popular now that brides are using this sweet treat as their wedding cake. The macaroons are positioned same way as other treats, as well as giving the illusion of a three tiered cake.
Those are just a few ideas brides are starting to do instead of having the “traditional” wedding cake on their special day. Overall the way the wedding cake is symbolized today isn’t how it uses to be symbolized. Wedding cakes are now become more of a centerpiece and these couples are using sweet treats that they both like. If a wedding couple loves to eat donuts then go ahead and have that donut wedding cake at your wedding. Wedding cakes are not to show off status or impress anyone, it is all about making memories and knowing that you’re not settling the standard three tiered wedding cake.
