Choosing your wedding cake is the tastiest decision of the nuptial process. A beautiful cake is often the centrepiece of a wedding reception and sits on show for all to see. Along with the first dance and throwing of the bouquet, it is one of those memorable ‘awwww moments’ and a super photo opportunity, surrounded by your guests eager to see your chosen design.

Traditionally, the wedding cake was an extravagant multi-level culinary masterpiece that comes with a price, however lately people have become more and more creative in their creation of the perfect cake, personalising them to make them unique to you and your day, without having to spend a small fortune.

The wedding cake tradition dates back to medieval times but instead of a mouth-watering sponge, they used to make it with wheat in the form of buns. The wedding cake has come a long way, however the symbolism behind the tradition remains the same.

The cake cutting represents the first joint activity of the happy couple who sometimes feed each other a small bite of cake. A more modern day symbol is the idea that the couple will always provide for one another. In medieval times, the treat symbolised prosperity and fertility and the cake would be thrown over the bride and groom for good luck, this tradition lives on at more liberal affairs where the couple surprise their guests by throwing the cake into their partners face- a brilliantly delicious waste of good cake if you ask us and not to mention how the mascara may look after a lashing of buttercream in the eyes!

Others, however, believe the cutting of a wedding cake symbolises the idea the couple will always provide for one another. Lots of couples like to save their top tier of cake for their first wedding anniversary of for the christening of their first child, should baby arrive on time for the frozen sell by date.

At the Brilliant Bakers we have worked hard to create a delicious Cupcake Wedding Tower which can be made and delivered fresh in just three days. The Cupcake Wedding Tower is made with smart tuxedo cupcakes for the boys and white wedding top with diamante necklace for the girls and a special top tier that can be used for the ceremonial cutting and speeches or kept for a later special occasion.

You can personalise your wedding cake, by selecting the form of relationship rainbow; bride and groom, groom and groom or bride and bride, but also selecting your skin tone. It will allow a special cupcake for all of your guests (you can order up to 125!) with a choice of either vanilla or chocolate.

With our unique and secure packaging you can order your cake in just 3 days and have it delivered by post, to allow you to get on with the rest of the planning. Admittedly there’s nothing like sharing a yummy cupcake tray to unite both families and if you want to toast back to traditions old, we think flinging the wedding cupcakes is much more fun.
