 Wedding cake has
its origins in a Roman wedding tradition of breaking a small loaf of bread over
the bride's head for fertility. But today's modern tiered wedding cake has its origins
in the Middle Ages.
Guests would often bring small cakes that would be stacked
on top of each other.
The bride and groom would try and kiss over the top of the
cakes without toppling them for luck and prosperity.
In time, this wedding
tradition would evolve and the cakes would all be covered with the same icing.
