Some might say the wedding cake is the focal point of the reception, just as the bride is the focal point of the wedding. Wedding cakes today average around a thousand dollars, and are elaborate constructions of cake, plastic pillars, artistic frostings and flavors. Most, however, are of white, chocolate or marble cake, with primarily white frosting.
The wedding cake tradition, however, did not start out this way!
Several sources have it that the wedding cake tradition began with a wheat and salt bread that was broken over the bride's head by the groom at the wedding. It is said that the guests would then take crumbs from the bread that fell to ensure their own fertility and prosperity.
As the Romans conquered most of Europe, their traditions followed. Breaking bread at the wedding ceremony was widely practiced at nearly every corner of the realm. In England, it became traditional to stack sweet breads in as high a pile as possible, and make the bride and groom attempt to kiss over it. To succeed in this venture was supposed to promise great fertility to the newlyweds.

Your wedding should be one of the most memorable days in your life. Before you even start planning the wedding there are many details you need to see too. The first thing you and your finance need to discuss is how much you are willing to spend on the whole wedding. Many couples try to make the perfect day by supplementing their wedding with credit cards. This can actually add a lot of stress to the day, and in the end disappoint you. It is more important for you to pick a style of wedding that will fit in your budget, without going so far into debt that you start off with a bad financial outlook. Having said that let’s talk about just the cake portion of your wedding.
Part of getting your wedding prepared is the reception and of course the main centerpiece the cake. The cake can be any type from a simple style to the most elaborate. Again when asking how much to spend on your wedding cake that will be up to you. Most wedding cake designers offer a cake around 400 pounds and up. The more decorative you get with the cake the more it will cost. If you decide to have each layer in the cake be a different filling the cost will also increase. It is easier for the wedding cake designer to make one type of filling over four.
